Master in Medicine and Surgery

Medicine and Surgery at Universita degli Studi di Pavia is a single-cycle master's program taught in English, lasting six years, following the integrated structure used for medical education in Italian universities. The program prepares students to become physicians, beginning with foundational sciences such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and pharmacology before advancing into clinical disciplines including internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and psychiatry. Throughout the program, classroom and laboratory study is combined with supervised clinical placements in hospital and outpatient settings, where students practice examining patients, interpreting test results, and participating in patient care under the supervision of qualified physicians. Subjects such as public health, medical ethics, and evidence-based practice are typically integrated throughout the curriculum, reflecting the professional and ethical responsibilities that come with medical practice. As students move through the six years, the balance of study generally shifts from preclinical coursework toward more extensive clinical training in hospital and community settings. On completing the program, graduates are positioned to pursue licensing procedures and further specialization through postgraduate residency training in fields such as surgery, internal medicine, or general practice. Pavia, a city in Lombardy with a long university history, provides the clinical and academic setting for the program's hospital-based training components. Delivered entirely in English, the program is designed for international students seeking a complete medical qualification within the Italian higher education system, following the same structure and content as programs offered in Italian at the same institution.
