IULM University (Libera Universita di Lingue e Comunicazione) is a private, legally recognised university in Milan founded in 1968, specialising in communication, media, languages, tourism and the arts. Its Corporate Communication and Public Relations bachelor's runs a dedicated English curriculum, and several master's programmes, including Strategic Communication and the dual-degree Hospitality and Tourism Management, are taught entirely in English.
IULM's campus occupies roughly 65,000 square metres in Milan, anchored by a six-storey red-brick building completed in 1993 (architects Roberto and Lorenzo Guiducci) and expanded with the newer IULM 6 building and the 10,000-square-metre Silvio Federico Baridon Garden. The university enrols roughly 6,000-7,000 students, including 369 international students from more than 71 nationalities. Facilities include a library with multimedia stations, IULM Radio, a student fitness centre and organised student associations.

Accommodation image

IULM operates its own student residences, Residence Santander and Cascina Moncucco, with rooms typically renting for roughly EUR 300-430 per month, well below Milan's general private-rental market; the university's 2026/2027 fee regulation also confirms a EUR 5,170 per year (about EUR 431/month) full-rate reserved-place option in the University Residences. Residence places are allocated through an annual call for applications rather than guaranteed to every student, so places should be requested as early as the application window opens. Students who do not secure a residence place typically rent privately in Milan, where a shared room commonly runs EUR 400-800 per month and a one-bedroom apartment averages roughly EUR 1,050 outside the centre.
Daily living support image

IULM's campus catering service runs on-site dining options for enrolled students, and Milan's size gives access to a full range of supermarkets, Middle Eastern, South Asian and East Asian grocery stores and restaurants across the city, though these are spread across neighbourhoods rather than concentrated immediately around campus. IULM does not publish a dedicated religious or allergy-specific dietary programme, so students with specific dietary needs should plan around Milan's general food scene alongside the campus catering facilities.
Safety and support image

Independent indices rate Milan relatively safe by international standards, though crowd-sourced data shows more caution among residents; petty theft and pickpocketing on crowded metro lines and tourist areas are the main risk, not violent crime. IULM's international student services assist enrolled students through unexpected situations, but students remain responsible for standard precautions and Italy's residence-permit timeline. IULM's Student Support Services include Peer to Peer Tutoring, a Freshmen service desk, psychological counselling and a Diversamente Office for disability/learning-needs support. The International Students Office runs a pre- and post-arrival process (visa, codice fiscale, insurance, residence permit) with online orientation each semester, a Welcome Day, and a free Italian course for incoming students.

Italy is one of Europe's most credible destinations for English-medium MBBS/MD education. With 16 public universities offering WHO and NMC-recognised programs, admission through the objective IMAT entrance exam, and tuition fees far below UK or Australian alternatives, Italy deserves serious attention from Indian students who want a globally respected medical degree at a realistic total cost.
Italy's public university MBBS fees are income-based and vary by institution and student financial profile. For most Indian students, effective annual tuition ranges from €2,700–5,000. But tuition is only part of the budget. This page explains the full cost picture so families can plan accurately before the first IMAT cycle.
IMAT is the only admission test for English-medium Medicine and Surgery programs at Italian public universities. For Indian students, it is both the entrance and the shortlisting mechanism — how you perform on IMAT determines which of the 16 universities you can access. This guide covers everything you need to understand, prepare for, and succeed in IMAT.
All 16 Italian public universities offering English-medium Medicine and Surgery programs are IMAT-accessible, state-funded, and WHO-recognised. This page helps you understand each university's profile, city, ranking, and fit — before you finalise your IMAT preference list.
