What makes us different?
1. Cutting-edge facilities
At our campuses in Castellón, we offer state-of-the-art facilities — the ideal environment for your academic development during the Bachelor’s Degree in Medicine. Dissection and anatomy rooms, laboratories, study areas... everything designed to support active student learning through clinical simulation.
2. Bringing the profession into the classroom
Learning to be a good doctor requires close contact with top medical professionals from the very first year. That’s why healthcare professionals who work daily in hospitals and health centers dedicate time each week to teaching our students, bringing the reality of the profession into the classroom.
Our Degree in Medicine is one of the few in Spain advised and supported by the Foundation for Training of the Spanish Medical Association (FFOMC), the official body established by the Spanish Medical Organization (OMC) to enhance medical training. The OMC coordinates all Medical Associations in Spain. As such, we benefit from the training guidance of the main professional medical body in the country, with the direct involvement of its members through “Medical Professionalism Seminars.”
3. Focus on the MIR
Backed by AMIR Academy, you’ll receive MIR exam preparation training from your third year onwards (if your goal is to join the Spanish healthcare system). This will significantly increase your chances of choosing the specialty and residency you prefer. AMIR Academy boasts one of the highest success rates in recent MIR exam results.
4. Enhancing your employability
Starting in your third year, you can take the University Expert Diploma in Clinical and Diagnostic Medicine* free of charge. Its aim is to give you a clinical understanding of various medical specialties, and to strengthen your diagnostic skills, which are key to developing an appropriate treatment plan.
*Obtaining the University Expert Diploma is conditional upon completion of the Medicine Degree. If the student does not complete the degree but does complete this certificate, they will receive the Advanced Training Program in Clinical and Diagnostic Medicine.
With an international dimension. Our Degrees in Medicine and Medicine have earned the International Quality Seal from the World Federation for Medical Education, WFME. This international accreditation opens doors to the job markets of the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, allowing direct access to their medical specialization exams.
Moreover, our Degrees in Medicine and Medicine include Spain’s first Clinical Practice Program in the USA, a pioneering initiative that lets you undertake clinical rotations at prestigious hospitals and healthcare centers in Chicago and New York.
5. Student-centered approach
Our medical students’ practical training in Valencia and Castellón is reinforced by the two Advanced Clinical Simulation Centers located on our campus. These facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art hospital simulation technology, allowing students to work through a wide variety of clinical scenarios. The spaces are modeled after real hospital environments—from patient rooms to operating theatres—and include patient simulation robots. Training hours in these centers help enhance future doctors’ clinical skills and ability to work as part of a team.
Our OSCE exams are accredited by the Spanish National Conference of Medical School Deans. This certifies that the clinical skills assessments taken by our medical students meet the highest standards of the Spanish university system. It is further proof of the academic rigor of our Medicine program and of our strong emphasis on developing students’ practical and clinical competencies.
