Universitat de les Illes Balears Facultat de Medicina

Campus & Scientific Infrastructure

The faculty is housed in a modern, purpose-built facility that prioritizes small-group learning and practical simulation.

• Clinical Simulation Center: A core part of the training, featuring high-fidelity mannequins and simulated consultation rooms to bridge the gap between theory and hospital practice.

• Biomedical Research: Closely linked to the IdISBa (Health Research Institute of the Balearic Islands), where students can participate in research projects focused on oncology, cardiovascular health, and neuroscience.

Trilingual Training: To prepare students for the international environment of the Balearic Islands, the curriculum includes a mandatory 1st-year subject: English for Health and Behavioural Sciences.

Healthcare Pillar: Teaching Hospitals

Medical training is integrated with the IB-Salut (Balearic Health Service). Students rotate through some of the most technologically advanced hospitals in the Mediterranean:

1. Hospital Universitari Son Espases: The primary teaching hospital and the reference center for the entire archipelago for high-complexity cases.

2. Hospital Universitari Son Llàtzer: A secondary teaching base focused on integrated care and surgical specialties.

3. Primary Care Centers: Students spend significant time in the local "Centros de Salud" to master community medicine.

Tuition Fees & Estimated Costs (2025/2026)

As a public university, fees are regulated by the regional government. Tuition for the first enrollment is highly competitive.
