Marche Polytechnic University (Università Politecnica delle Marche) in Ancona is an Italian public university that offers an English-taught Medicine and Surgery programme — one of the more recently established English-language options in Italy. The six-year programme provides clinical training at the Ospedali Riuniti di Ancona (Ancona University Hospital) — the Marche region's primary referral centre for complex surgical and medical cases. The university's distinctive polytechnic identity means medical students benefit from strong biomedical engineering, health technology, and materials science departments — creating interdisciplinary opportunities in medical devices and health innovation.

Research strengths include cardiovascular science, oncology, biomedical engineering applications in surgery, and marine biotechnology. Ancona is a pleasant Adriatic coastal city, the capital of the Marche region, offering beaches, Italian Riviera charm, excellent seafood, and significantly lower living costs than Rome or Milan. For UK students, Marche offers an English-taught, EU-recognised medical degree in a coastal Italian setting with genuine interdisciplinary polytechnic advantages and affordable tuition (approximately €3,500/year).
