The Harvey Medicine and Surgery Course is the first medical course in Italy taught in English, a six-year single-cycle Master’s Degree combining Bachelor + Master degrees.

The Harvey Course is numerus clausus (restricted access), with 100 available places per year, as set by the Italian Ministry of Education. 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.

Besides, thanks to the high percentage of international students, a multicultural friendly ambiance blossoms every academic year: more than 40% of the enrolled students indeed come from both European andm extra-European countries.

In addition, themed seminars are organised and lectures’ handouts given before class, so that all students can keep up easily with the day’s main subject. Both clinical and theoretical training are a precious chance to share ideas and learn mutually from one another thanks to the oneon- 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. 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.
