The Università Cattolica's 6-year Single-Cycle MD Medicine and Surgery programme is taught in English and foresees internships in Italian and German. The students of the new degree programme will have access to state-of-the-art facilities and a qualified faculty, benefiting from the experience of doctors and researchers from the A. Gemelli University Hospital and the clinical training opportunities provided by local facilities.

Lectures are conducted at Claudiana Health professions university centre of excellence in Bolzano, a vivid city and charming tourist destination located in the Adige valley, at the feet of the Dolomites (Northern Italy). A meeting point between two different cultures, the Mediterranean and the Central European one.

• The experience of professors, lecturers and professionals who also work in international contexts
• The opportunity to access simulation centres and Hi-Tech laboratories
• Attendance at customised courses delivered by dedicated tutors
• The opportunity to acquire professional skills in three languages (English, Italian and German)

The programme is based on an innovative curriculum that provides from the first years a strong integration between the basic sciences and the clinical sciences, as well as an in-depth approach to human sciences and bioethics - necessary to develop an effective doctor-patient relationship. This will enable students to gain practical experience at the Central Hospital in Bolzano as well as in the other hospitals belonging to the Hospital Network in the South Tyrol Region. What makes the programme unique in the national scenario is also the teaching of Italian and German, which will enable students to communicate easily with medical staff and patients.
