Luigi Vanvitelli University (Università degli Studi della Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, formerly the Second University of Naples) offers medical education primarily based in Caserta and Naples. The Faculty of Medicine provides clinical training at multiple hospital sites across the Campania region, including its own polyclinics and affiliated hospitals. The university was created in 1991 to serve the educational needs of Campania's large population, and has developed distinctive research strengths in hepatology, dermatology, and plastic surgery.

Named after the architect of the Royal Palace of Caserta (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the university maintains connections to this stunning location. Clinical exposure spans southern Italy's high-volume medical centres with particularly strong surgical traditions. Research focuses include liver disease, melanoma, regenerative medicine, and medical education.

For UK students, Vanvitelli represents an option within the Campanian medical education system, though English-taught options are more limited than at northern Italian universities. The region offers exceptional archaeological and cultural richness alongside very affordable living.
