The trend of Indian students opting to pursue MBBS in Italy has seen a notable rise over the past 15 years. This trend took root in 2009 with the introduction of medical programs conducted in English by Italian public universities. Presently, around 13 public medical institutions, including prestigious names like the universities of Bari, Bologna, Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, Messina, Milan, Milan-Bicocca, Naples Federico II, Padua, Pavia, Parma, Rome La Sapienza, Rome Tor Vergata, and Turin, offer MBBS degrees in English.

While a limited number of universities extend admission to non-EU students for English-taught programs, these medical schools are renowned globally for their academic excellence and cost-effectiveness. Furthermore, they offer exceptional opportunities for residency programs, research, and clinical work across Europe and beyond, rendering MBBS in Italy an immensely desirable choice for Indian students.
