One of its key asset is the Simulation Centre: a high-tech space of over 2,000 square metres, among the largest in Europe, available to students, postgraduates and health professionals, who can be trained on the basis of different levels of specialization and complexity.

The Campus consists in 20,000 square meters including also the new Student House (opened in 2018), classrooms and laboratories with advanced technologies, sports areas and much more.

International Mobility

Humanitas University aims to prepare students to face the challenging reality of a European society that, while still strongly anchored to its traditions, is undergoing the process of globalization: the exchange programs provide students with an opportunity to study in a different country and environment experiencing the history and culture of another country, as well as meeting new friends to enrich their personal development. International exchange programs, including Erasmus+ and Travel Grants, are also effective to challenge students to develop a global perspective.
