Humanitas University, MEDTEC School
Looking ahead is no longer just an option.
As Humanitas University enters its tenth year of life, results have already started to show how its methods are innovating the way medicine is taught.
The traditional Medicine and Surgery degree course, which lasts six years and is entirely held in English, is focused, more than ever, on the integration of practice with theoretical classes: thanks to the clinical traineeship, which starts already in the third year, and the use of the Mario Luzzatto Simulation Center, the biggest simulation center in Europe, students can start practicing some vocational activities during their path and act as lead medical professionals but in a safe environment.
During both case studies and simulations, students will have the opportunity of practicing with state-of-the-art technology as well as high fidelity mannequins and instrumentation, thus getting the same scenarios they will possibly find in the various ward of the hospital. These practices will, in fact, help them understand the full consequences of their actions and build the confidence to enter the post-graduate programme of their choice with full awareness.
The MEDTEC School is an innovative path created by Humanitas University in collaboration with Politecnico di Milano: during the six-year course, students will take on the traditional medical education, while merging it with the biomedical engineering knowledge and skills. In this way MEDTEC students will be future medical doctors able to master cutting-edge technologies, so that to foster patient-doctor interaction: they will have the chance to directly be a part of the innovation of medicine as they will be able to understand the consequences of technology on everyday procedures and practices. At the same time their approach to the medicine and engineering worlds will help them integrate new strategies in patient care.
At the end of this integrated path, MEDTEC students obtain two degrees: a Master Degree in Medicine and Surgery and a Bachelor Degree in Biomedical Engineering, unlocking new career opportunities in both fields. Graduated students will be able to work not only as medical doctors in any hospital, but also in pharma and biotech industries, thanks to their knowledge in the engineering field.
To become a part of this world, it is necessary to pass the admission test.
For Medicine and Surgery, the HUMAT admission test will be held online on February 2nd and March 8th; every year there are 140 available places for European students and 50 places for Non-European students. It is possible to apply for both sessions until January 24th, thus to submit only the best out of the two scores obtained for the ranking list. After this date you can still register but only for the second session. The exam focuses on logic and is composed of 60 questions to be answered in 120 minutes, and it is divided in:
The MEDTEC admission test will be held online on April 5th and April 19th and registrations are open until March 27th. Even in this case students have the chance to sit the test twice and submit the best out of the two results. Every year 70 European students and 10 Non-European students are welcome in the course.
Instead of focusing only on logic, the MEDTEC admission test will also evaluate the student’s knowledge on scientific subjects in order to consider if they are able to take on the engineering programme as well. The test is composed of 60 questions to be answered in 100 minutes and it is divided into:
For both degree courses, it is possible for students attending their second-to-last year of high school to sit the test twice this year and twice next, thus submitting only the best out of the four scores.
