Medicina e chirurgia

Tuition fees are 2,056 EUR per year.

This six-year single-cycle master's degree in Medicine and Surgery is taught in English at Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, located in Milano, Italy. Medicine is the discipline concerned with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of illness, combining foundational biomedical sciences with clinical practice. Students typically begin with subjects such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, histology, and pharmacology before progressing to clinical disciplines including internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, gynecology, psychiatry, and emergency medicine. Training also involves supervised clinical placements in hospital wards and outpatient settings, where students learn to take patient histories, perform physical examinations, interpret diagnostic tests, and participate in patient care under the guidance of practicing physicians. Alongside clinical skills, coursework addresses medical ethics, public health, epidemiology, and the scientific method as applied to clinical research. Because medicine is a regulated profession, graduates typically must complete licensing examinations and, in many countries, further specialization through residency training before practicing independently. Career paths following a degree in medicine and surgery include general practice, specialization in fields such as surgery, cardiology, oncology, or psychiatry, and roles in public health, medical research, and academic medicine. The programme's location in Milano places students in a large metropolitan area with a substantial hospital and healthcare network, offering exposure to a wide range of clinical settings. Because the programme is delivered in English, it is designed to be accessible to international students seeking a medical qualification recognized within the Italian and broader European system, combining rigorous scientific training with hands-on clinical exposure over the course of study.
