Master’s degree in Medicine and Surgery
Overview
The Harvey Medicine and Surgery Course is the first six-year single-cycle Master’s Degree in Medicine in Italy taught in English. The Harvey medical course offers a unique chance for students to take part in a thorough medical training offered by the University of Pavia, truly a city campus ideal especially for students. Both clinical and theoretical training are a precious chance to share ideas and learn mutually from one another thanks to the one-on-one personal approach that small study groups offer. Harvey medicine students also have the great opportunity to work as trainees in one of the most renown hospitals of Northern Italy, namely the San Matteo, the Maugeri or Mondino clinics, alongside both Italian and international doctors and professors.
The Harvey Course provides a basic and general knowledge to practice medicine after sitting the national state exam. The degree course offers all the requested tools to gather the clinical history of the patient, make a first diagnosis and administer a treatment, according to the specialisation required in the interested field of medicine either via training courses or specialisation schools.

What our students say
“When I decided to follow my dreams, I had the dilemma of choosing the right medical school for me. My dreams came true with UniPV. It is an internationally known, high-rated university with courses taught in English. Another plus is that Pavia is ‘student-sized’ with everything I need close by. Without a doubt, it was the right choice for me.”
