What Degree Programmes Does Humanitas University Offer?

Humanitas University (Hunimed), the international medical school in Milan, Italy, offers 10 degree courses in total. Two single-cycle medical programmes are taught in English — Medicine and Surgery and MEDTEC School — while five three-year health professions programmes are taught in Italian: Nursing, Physiotherapy, Osteopathy, Biomedical Laboratory Techniques, and Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy Techniques. Beyond these, the university lists postgraduate options including specialty schools, Masters, and PhDs.

Undergraduate and Single-Cycle Programmes

The university's own course pages split its programmes into two groups by language of instruction and length. This distinction matters most for applicants: the English-taught medical degrees and the Italian-taught health professions degrees have different language requirements and different admission routes.

The site describes the two English-taught programmes as "single-cycle degree programmes," meaning they lead directly to a medical degree without a separate bachelor's stage. The five health professions programmes are described as three-year degrees taught in Italian.

Who each route suits

• English-track applicants aiming at a medical career should look at Medicine and Surgery or MEDTEC School. Both are taught in English, so proficiency in Italian is not the entry condition for the programme itself.
• Italian-speaking applicants interested in allied health professions — nursing, physiotherapy, osteopathy, laboratory or imaging and radiotherapy techniques — should look at the five three-year programmes, which are delivered in Italian.

How Teaching Is Delivered

The university states that all degree programmes use active learning methods: case studies, simulations, and 3D anatomy tools, run in small groups guided by a tutor. It also highlights a focus on AI in medicine and preparation for an international career. This applies across the degree programmes rather than to a single course, so it is a reasonable expectation whichever of the 10 degrees you choose.

Postgraduate and Beyond

The site lists extensive postgraduate options: 30 specialty schools, Masters, and PhDs. It also describes the degree as internationally recognised. For applicants planning a clinical or research career abroad, this is worth verifying against the recognition rules of the country where you intend to practise, since recognition procedures are set nationally and are not detailed on the university's homepage.

Practical Context for Applicants

A few facts from the site help frame the choice:

• Humanitas University is ranked #1 Medical University in Italy (CENSIS), and its affiliated hospital is ranked #1 Hospital in Italy (AGENAS).
• It has more than 3,000 students from over 30 countries.
• The campus is described as state-of-the-art and located near Milan, built alongside the Humanitas Research Hospital.
• Research activity involves nearly 600 researchers in more than 38 research groups, working with 700 hospital physicians.

The site also offers a way to speak with current students: prospective applicants can chat with a Student Ambassador to hear about a specific programme first-hand. That is a useful step if you are deciding between the English-taught medical track and an Italian-taught health professions degree.

Where to Confirm Details

Programme-specific information — admission requirements, application timelines, and fees — sits on the individual course pages rather than the homepage. The site's "Discover the courses" links for Medical Schools and Health Professions are the entry points to check before applying. The homepage itself does not state tuition costs or login requirements, so treat those as details to confirm on the course pages or by contacting the university directly.
