Personally, I am quite happy with my choice to come to study at Humanitas University and would do so again if I had to. It is by no means a perfect university, it is currently going through some ‘growing pains’ that result in disorganization, some professors are better than others, etc. However, it’s a new university that is growing, the hospital is right next to it, the facilities are new and excellent, there is a lot of support for international students, etc. In my opinion, the pros heavily outweigh the cons.

This is a great university for internationals interested in studying medicine in Europe. Humanitas University is located on the same campus as the renowned Humanitas Research Hospital, one of the top research hospitals in Europe. If you’re interested in medicine and research, I’d highly recommend this uni. It has great facilities, as it is a new university. As it’s situated outside of Milan, it is a bit tedious to get to the centre through public transport. However, there is a bus that stops right in front of the hospital which makes it more convenient. Plus it’s nice to not be in the hubbub of the city, and enjoy it as you please over the weekend. The Humanitas Campus accommodation is a perfect choice for living especially in the first year. But they offer a place for any Humanitas student of any year!
The teaching is great, and the course is focused on an integrated approach to learning. This is especially helpful for a course like medicine, as you learn better how everything is connected.
One of the flaws of the university is its organization. There’s no set schedule, as classes often change last minute. Additionally, exam schedules (as well as semester schedules) are sent just a month or two before the exam session begins making it a bit tough for personal studying plans.

This is a university I would highly recommend to students trying to study in Europe or who want an alternative setting to the UK with an active atmosphere of internationality. The courses are taught in English and the professors are generally organized with the study material. Although the university is located a little far from Milan, the public transport is satisfactory to go to central through day and night.

I love that the university gives us lots of chances to redo exams if we mess up or don’t get the grade we like, I would, however appreciate if they’d actually implement their attendance policies and provide us with better studying material.
