Master in Medicine and Surgery

Medicine and Surgery is a single-cycle master's degree program taught in English at Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna, in Bologna, Italy. Admission is limited to a fixed number of places, and applicants need a secondary school diploma to apply, reflecting how this qualification combines undergraduate and graduate-level medical training into one continuous program of study. The discipline covers the full scope of human medicine, including anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology, pharmacology, and clinical training across specialties such as internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and psychiatry. Students progress from foundational biomedical sciences toward clinical rotations in hospital and outpatient settings, where they apply theoretical knowledge to patient care under supervision. The program is designed to prepare students for the demands of clinical practice, combining classroom-based instruction with hands-on experience in diagnosing and treating patients across a range of medical conditions. Because medicine requires both broad scientific grounding and extensive practical training, the course of study is lengthy and structured around progressively more clinical responsibility as students advance. Graduates of medicine and surgery programs typically go on to postgraduate specialization training in a chosen medical or surgical field before practicing as licensed physicians. Career paths include general practice, hospital-based specialties, surgery, and research roles within academic medicine or biomedical science. The six-year program is delivered in English, making it accessible to international students seeking a full medical qualification while studying in Italy, within a field that remains consistently in demand across health systems worldwide.
