Average source completeness across verified programs.
ItalyPavia's English medicine is recorded here under a named course — the Harvey course — rather than a generic faculty label, and it sits in the fourth-cheapest Italian location on this site at about €8,900 a year. It is close enough to Milan to matter for travel while costing roughly €3,700 a year less to live in.
The catalog records the faculty for this program as Harvey Medicine and Surgery. Most Italian entries in this catalog carry a generic label — School of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine — so a course with its own name is a small signal that the English track is an established program in its own right rather than an English-language wrapper around the Italian curriculum.
Treat that as a prompt to ask rather than as a conclusion. The useful questions for any English-taught program in a non-English-speaking country are how long the English track has run, whether the clinical years are taught in English or in the local language, and who teaches them. A named course makes those easier to ask about, not unnecessary.
On this site's cost presets Pavia runs €300 a month for housing and €590 for other living costs — about €8,900 a year on the ten-month basis used here, or €53,400 across six years. That is fourth cheapest of the fifteen Italian locations covered, behind Messina at €8,500 and level-ish with Ancona and Catania at €8,800. The preset is rated Medium confidence.
The comparison that matters is with Milan at about €12,600 a year: roughly €3,700 a year, or €22,200 over six years. Pavia is in Lombardy and close enough to Milan that the connection is practical, which makes it a different proposition from Messina — you are not trading proximity for the saving in the same way.
Bergamo, where Milano-Bicocca teaches, is the other Lombardy option at about €9,100. Between Pavia and Bergamo the living-cost difference is small; the choice comes down to the university and the course rather than the invoice.
The most recently published structure is €156 as a mandatory fixed charge — €140 regional tax plus €16 stamp duty — plus the University of Pavia all-inclusive contribution calculated from ISEE or equivalent income, with non-EU students who have no ISEE using the published country-based flat-fee bands. Those are 2025-2026 figures, not confirmed for 2026-2027.
Admission is by the national English-language medical admission procedure with Universitaly pre-enrolment for non-EU applicants. The most recent cycle opened 26 August 2025 and closed 9 September 2025 at 15:00 CEST, with a 100-minute test of 60 multiple-choice questions on 17 September 2025; the 2026-2027 call is due by 31 August 2026.
The degree is a six-year Laurea Magistrale LM-41. Italian is required for clinical communication even though the degree is taught in English.
Applicants who want a Lombardy address and Milan connections without Milan living costs, who will ask a named course the questions its name invites, and who have established which ISEE or country-band route applies to them.
