Bachelor in Medicine and Surgery (Single-Cycle)

The Single Cycle Degree Course in Medicine and Surgery at the University of Messina, known as the "University of Messina International Medical School" (UniMeIMS), aims to train medical doctors through a multidisciplinary approach, integrating theory, practice, and methodology. The program focuses on developing professional decision-making skills and operational autonomy for health promotion, disease prevention, and treatment both in Italy and internationally. Additionally, it provides a strong foundation in scientific research methodologies and fosters a commitment to lifelong learning.

Admission to the Single Cycle Degree Course in Medicine and Surgery is regulated at the national level through a competitive exam known as the International Medical Admission Test (IMAT). This exam is administered simultaneously in all Italian universities offering a degree program in Medicine and Surgery in English, as well as at selected international locations.

The degree program spans six years and comprises 360 European Credits (ECTS), in line with current Italian and European regulations. At least 60 ECTS are earned through practical training activities aimed at developing specific professional skills.

Practical training primarily takes place in the Operative Units of the "G. Martino" University Hospital in Messina, where patient care and assistance are integrated with teaching and scientific research. Additional training is conducted at the offices of General Practitioners.
