Padua's Medicine Program Relocates to New Venice Campus for 2025
In a landmark decision, the University of Padua has announced the relocation of its prestigious English-language Medicine and Surgery program to a new, state-of-the-art campus in the Venice-Mestre area.
A Hub of Medical Innovation
This strategic move, effective from the 2025/2026 academic year, aims to enhance the learning environment and forge a stronger integration with the Venetian region's leading healthcare facilities.
The new "Venice Center for Medical Studies" is designed to be a hub of innovation. The campus will feature cutting-edge laboratories, high-fidelity simulation centers for clinical training, and fully-digitized lecture halls, providing students with an immersive and technologically advanced educational experience.
Its location in the Venice-Mestre healthcare corridor ensures that students will be at the heart of a bustling medical community, with seamless access to clinical rotations and research opportunities.
Enhanced Clinical Exposure
A key benefit of the relocation is the deepened partnership with the Venetian hospital network, including major hospitals like the Ospedale dell'Angelo in Mestre.
Early Integration
Students will have opportunities for clinical exposure from their pre-clinical years.
Diverse Experience
Access to a wide range of specialized departments will provide a comprehensive clinical education.
Research Opportunities
Close proximity to active clinical research centers will foster student involvement in groundbreaking medical studies.
"This new chapter in Venice represents our forward-thinking vision for medical education. We look forward to welcoming the world's brightest students to this unique and inspiring location."
