MA/MS in Medizin

The medicine course at the Essen university hospital leads to the state examination, which is the route to the medical profession. The training includes the academic study of medicine, a practical year, first-aid training, a nursing service, a clerkship in several care settings and a medical examination taken in three sections. Elective subjects are offered in both the pre-clinical and clinical stages. The standard length is twelve semesters and three months, and the course places high demands on students because it spans natural sciences, medical fundamentals, clinical subjects and areas of psychology and sociology. Admission is restricted. Places are allocated centrally through hochschulstart.de via quotas for top school grades, additional aptitude and a university selection procedure. Study begins in the winter semester.
