Master in Medicine and Surgery

For Master in Medicine and Surgery, tuition fees are 2,060 EUR per year.

Medicine and Surgery is a single-cycle master's degree program taught in English at Università degli Studi di Parma, in Parma, Italy. Admission is limited to a fixed number of places, and applicants need a secondary school diploma, reflecting how the qualification combines undergraduate and graduate medical training into one continuous course of study. The discipline covers the full scope of human medicine, including foundational sciences such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and pharmacology, alongside clinical training across specialties including internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and psychiatry. Students move from classroom-based study of the biomedical sciences toward supervised clinical rotations in hospital and outpatient settings, where they apply their knowledge directly to patient care. The program is structured to build clinical competence progressively, with increasing responsibility for patient interaction and diagnostic reasoning as students advance through their studies. Because medical training requires both broad scientific grounding and extensive supervised practice, the course of study spans many years and is organized around a sequence of increasingly specialized clinical experience. Graduates typically continue into postgraduate specialization training in a chosen medical or surgical field before practicing independently as licensed physicians. Career paths include general practice, hospital-based specialties, surgical fields, and research roles within academic medicine. The six-year program is delivered in English, making it accessible to international students seeking a complete medical qualification while studying in Italy, in a field that remains in steady demand within health systems everywhere.
