Studying medicine at Humanitas, from Milan.
The campus is on your doorstep, the degree is taught in English, and it admits through one exam — the HUMAT. This is the honest guide for a Milan family: what the route is, why living nearby does not prepare you for the exam, and how to rehearse it before you sit it.

Official source: Humanitas admissions ↗Nearby, but not the same as ready
Humanitas University runs two English-taught programmes just outside Milan: Medicine and Surgery, and the bioengineering-focused MEDTEC, run with Politecnico di Milano. Both admit through a single exam, the HUMAT — 60 multiple-choice questions in 120 minutes.
Living near the campus, visiting on an open day, knowing families whose children go there — none of it prepares you for the exam. The HUMAT is a specific paper with its own weighting and its own timing, and proximity is not preparation.
The honest problem, even in Milan
Milan is full of medical tutoring — but almost all of it is built for the Italian liceo, the maturità, or the IMAT public route. Very little is built for the HUMAT, and nothing lets you sit the exam itself in advance, under real timing, scored the way Humanitas scores it.
That is the gap that costs strong candidates their place: they prepare seriously, but for the wrong shape of exam, and walk in having never rehearsed the real one.
Built by a student who sat this exam
Vettamed was built by Emir Ucar, who prepared for and sat the 2026 Humanitas cycle. 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 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 and got in.
How you prepare with Vettamed in Milan
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.
It fits alongside your final year of liceo rather than competing with it. You start with a free readiness review — no download and no payment to begin — and the whole product works in Italian, English, and Turkish.
For schools and tutors in Milan
If you prepare students for medicine, 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.
See where you stand — free, in minutes.
A free, human-reviewed readiness review is the honest first step: no download and no payment to start.
