Master in Medicine and Surgery

Tuition fees for Master in Medicine and Surgery are 1,047 USD per year.

Medicine and surgery prepares students to become physicians, combining the scientific study of human health and disease with the clinical training required to diagnose and treat patients. Students typically begin with foundational sciences such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and pharmacology, then progress through pathology, clinical medicine, and surgical training. The course generally integrates classroom study with supervised clinical practice, exposing students to a range of medical specialties as they build the diagnostic reasoning and hands-on skills expected of a practicing physician. This program in Medicine and Surgery is delivered in English at Università degli Studi di Roma "Tor Vergata", in Rome, Italy, reflecting the extended, single-cycle format used for medical degrees in Italy, which combines undergraduate and graduate-level training into one continuous course of study. English-language teaching is intended to support students from outside Italy pursuing a medical qualification. Graduates typically continue into postgraduate specialty training in fields such as internal medicine, surgery, or pediatrics, working toward licensure as physicians according to the requirements of their country of practice. Many go on to careers in hospitals and clinical settings, while others move into medical research, public health, or academic medicine. The lengthy, structured progression from foundational science to supervised clinical work reflects the depth of preparation associated with a medical career, one that requires both rigorous scientific understanding and direct experience working with patients. Because places on medical programs are typically limited to a fixed number, entry is often competitive, and the course structure is designed to build the comprehensive knowledge base and practical clinical competence needed for responsible medical practice.
