Studying medicine at Humanitas, from Istanbul.

Humanitas University in Milan teaches medicine entirely in English. Two programmes — Medicine and Surgery, and the bioengineering-focused MEDTEC, run with Politecnico di Milano — admit through a single exam, the HUMAT. You do not need Italian to sit it or to study the degree.

For a student finishing high school in Istanbul, that makes Humanitas one of the few English-taught medical degrees in the European Union you can reach on an entrance exam alone — no separate language year, no Italian proficiency test. What you do need is a real command of this specific exam, and that is the part almost nobody arrives with.

Biology and chemistry you can study from anything — a shelf of books, a hundred videos, a tutor. What has never existed for this exam is the exam itself: sittable in advance, under real timing, scored the way Humanitas scores it, with an honest read on whether you are actually improving.

Turkish students feel this gap more sharply than most, because the material within reach is built for the Turkish YKS, or for the IMAT — not for the HUMAT. Preparing hard for the wrong shape of exam is the most common way a strong candidate still walks in underprepared.

Vettamed was built by Emir Ucar, who prepared for and sat the 2026 Humanitas cycle as a student in Istanbul. He ranked third at San Raffaele and was admitted to Humanitas Medicine and Surgery, Humanitas MEDTEC, and Università Cattolica — after eight months of preparation in which he never once saw what the exam actually looked like.

Vettamed is the tool he needed and could not find. That is the whole reason it exists, and it is why the founder’s result sits on the page instead of a wall of quotes: there is a real person who sat this exact exam last cycle, from this city.

Everything runs remotely. You sit full HUMAT papers under real exam conditions, scored against both programmes’ rules, so you can see where the same paper leaves you for Medicine and Surgery and for MEDTEC at once. A study plan changes as your results do, and mistakes come back for repair on a schedule instead of being quietly forgotten.

The whole site and product work in Turkish, English, and Italian. You start with a free readiness review, in your own language, before any download or payment.

If you prepare students for medicine abroad, Vettamed is built to sit underneath your teaching rather than replace it: cohorts, seat licences, and a workspace that shows you where each student is losing marks. You bring the teaching; Vettamed brings the exam, the scoring, and the readiness evidence.

Seats are sold to educators directly, at a margin you keep. The tutor page has the terms — or email us and we will set it up.
