Planning to study MBBS in Italy? Choosing a medical university involves more than finding an English-taught course. You need to understand the admission process, entrance requirements, costs, clinical training and the rules for practising medicine after graduation.
At Italy Study Consultants, we help Indian students explore medical study options in Italy and prepare their applications with a clear plan. From assessing your academic profile to guiding you through university applications, scholarship documents and student visa requirements, our team supports you at each stage.

| Programme name | Generally Medicine and Surgery |

| Teaching language | English at selected universities |
| Admission route | Depends on the university, programme and application year |
| Entrance assessment | IMAT for participating public English-taught programmes; check each institution’s current notice |

Before applying, students should check both Italian university admission requirements and Indian medical eligibility rules. Meeting one set of requirements does not automatically satisfy the other.
NMC states that Indian citizens and OCI candidates intending to obtain a primary medical qualification abroad must qualify NEET under the applicable rules. However, a qualifying NEET result does not secure admission to an Italian medical programme.
We help you understand these requirements before you invest time and money in an application.
The International Medical Admissions Test, or IMAT, is used for admission to participating public English-taught medical programmes. Private universities may follow their own selection procedures, so students should check the specific course they wish to apply for.
Our team helps you understand the relevant admission notice, application steps and deadlines. We also guide you in planning your applications around the required entrance assessment.
Admission depends on the university’s selection rules, available places and your performance. Applying early should give you more preparation time, but it does not guarantee a seat.
| University | Location | University type | Medical programme |
|---|---|---|---|
| University of Pavia | Pavia | Public | Medicine and Surgery — Harvey programme |
| University of Milan | Milan | Public | Medicine and Surgery — International Medical School |
| University of Bologna | Bologna | Public | Medicine and Surgery |
| Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore | Rome campus | Private | Medicine and Surgery |
These institutions publish information about their English-taught medical programmes. Course availability, applicant categories, seats and admission procedures must be checked for your intended intake.
We help you compare suitable options and prepare a practical shortlist. Before finalising a university, students should obtain written clarification about any course or internship arrangements that affect their intended medical registration pathway.
A useful budget covers the full study journey, including tuition, accommodation and everyday expenses.
Tuition policies vary between universities. Some public institutions link fees to family income, while other programmes follow different fee structures. Always use the university’s current fee schedule when preparing your budget.
Our counsellors help you organise these costs and explore scholarship or education loan options without relying on uncertain funding.
We review your academic background, science subjects, NEET status and career goals to help you understand suitable medical study options in Italy.
