General Information – Humanitas University
Degree Program:
Medicine: Studying medicine at the Humanitas University in Milan offers an especially close connection to practice and to the university teaching hospital. The studies are characterized by a multidisciplinary and holistic approach to teaching with the support of almost one tutor for two students. Tutors are medical doctors trained to provide students with constant feedback and suggestions for improving their studying performance. Beyond that, they organize group activites. The courses are completely taking place in English.
