Bachelor in Medicina

Medicine is one of the longest and most demanding undergraduate programs in higher education, preparing students for clinical practice across a wide range of health conditions. The degree combines foundational sciences — anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology — with clinical training in settings such as hospitals and primary care centres. Students learn to diagnose, treat, and manage illness, and to develop the communication skills needed to work with patients and interdisciplinary care teams. A medical degree opens pathways into general practice, hospital medicine, surgery, psychiatry, research, and public health, among many other specialties. After graduation, doctors in Spain typically complete a residency program to specialize, and many pursue additional academic or research activities alongside clinical work. The six-year duration of the degree reflects the breadth and depth of training required before independent clinical responsibility. Medicina is a six-year bachelor's degree with annual tuition of EUR 1,240.80, offered at Rey Juan Carlos University in Alcorcón, Spain.
