Humanitas University in Milan, Italy offers a master’s programme that fuses artificial intelligence with medical science: Master’s Degree in Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence in Health Sciences (DAIHS).
Taught entirely in English over two years, the curriculum blends medical biology, statistics, mathematics, and computer science, equipping students with the tools to reimagine how patient care is delivered. Financial aid of up to 60% makes this opportunity not only visionary, but accessible —and all in one of the world’s most captivating cities.
Hunimed ranks among the top 175 institutions globally for clinical and health studies, so it’s no surprise it keeps pace with how the industry is evolving. The healthcare IT market is projected to increase to over US$730 billion, which is double what it was in 2024. The DAIHS programme is responding to this change and anticipating more.
“In this programme, students will work with several advanced technologies for modelling and interpreting healthcare data,” says Professor Letterio Politi, from Hunimed. “They will be the backbone of scientific research that generates concrete, tangible impact.”

A cutting-edge campus in a vibrant city
There are more than 24 research groups at Hunimed, and all of them have access to up to 20,000 square metres of laboratory space with the latest equipment. Researchers here are exploring the limitations of applying AI models to multi-omics data, making way for improved, personalised oncology. They’ve even discovered the mechanism behind what renders innate immune cells incapable of attacking cancer, a phenomenon that is still poorly understood today.
The Hunimed campus is designed to help you tackle some of the toughest challenges in the world today through teaching, research, and training. You’ll work with advance technologies such as robotic surgical systems, three Tesla MRIs, linear accelerators for radiotherapy, and low-emission 3D imaging support care pathways. Classes are no longer just tables, chairs, and a lecturer standing at the front, but are full multimedia-driven immersions featuring projection systems, interactive screens, and flexible layouts. You’ll gain theoretical and clinical skills, while fostering your independence in research, decision-making, and teamwork.

A partnership to better healthcare
Hunimed’s DAIHS programme is conducted in partnership with Bocconi University, a leading research university in Europe. The programme combines Bocconi’s strengths in statistics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning with Hunimed’s expertise in the life sciences to offer you a multidisciplinary training that improves patients’ quality of life. You’ll immerse yourself in subjects across statistics, mathematics, computer science, and medicine-biology, with a focus on ethical, patient-centred research and innovation.
“We train students to decode data and turn it into revolutionary solutions for improving patient lives,” says Professor Marco Bonetti, from Bocconi University. “In partnership with Humanitas University, we have developed a programme that combines academic excellence with clinical innovation and that is designed for the future of healthcare.”
At your doorstep is the Humanitas Research Hospital, which hosts over 50 clinical specialities and employs more than 700 doctors. It’s the most digitised hospital in the nation, with electronic health records across all departments and over 10 years of clinical data.
As a world-renowned centre of excellence for research, the hospital is known for its expertise in treating immune system-related diseases, particularly across four clinical areas: oncology, cardiology, neurology, and orthopaedics. You”ll be guided by some of the most innovative minds in the sector, and use a modern Data Lake that integrates clinical, genomic, and imaging data to study anonymised data and enhance education and research.
