STUDY MEDICINE IN GERMANY

---

It’s no secret that many international students are attracted by the opportunity to study medicine in Germany in English.

What’s not to like? The country has a perfect location – in Central Europe, between the Baltic and North seas.

But if you are a mountaineer, don’t worry, the Alps are to the South.

Germany is one of the most developed countries in the world. Its hospitals are famous for their high-quality health care and honest doctors who put their patients at the highest priority.

The second-largest city is Hamburg, with a population of over 1.84 million people.

It is a popular destination for international students willing to study medicine abroad.

Providing first-rate education and excellent living standards, it won’t be a surprise that it’s among the best places to study medicine in Europe.

You can sign up for an MD programme in English at the University of Targu Mures Medical Campus Hamburg (UMCH). Here, you can choose between two types of medical courses.

The first programme allows you to study in Germany for the whole period of 6 years. The second requires you to study in Germany for the first 2 years and then go to Romania for the remaining 4 years of the course, but pay significantly lower tuition fees (the teaching language remains English).

If you are already enrolled in a medical course somewhere else, but you changed your mind, we are happy to inform you that UMCH accepts students transferring from one medical institution to another.

If you are looking for a graduate entry medicine course, UMCH doesn’t offer one.

• Germany is a fast-growing and ever-evolving country which is part of the European Union.
• It ranks fourth in the list of the world's most advanced economies.
• Once graduate from UMCH, you have the right to practise as a doctor all around Europe and worldwide.
• Germany’s medical education and institutions are in the top 10 of every chart.
• University of Targu Mures Medical Campus Hamburg offers student transfers.
• UMCH offers you the chance to practise in the most modern equipped clinics and learn from the best in this area.
• There are no compromises when it comes to the quality of education and living.
• UMCH facilities are equipped with the most modern medical equipment.

While German public universities charge low tuition fees, their fees are higher for non-EU residents. In contrast, private universities are usually in the €20,000 - €30,000 tuition range. Furthermore, living costs (rent included) in Germany are between €1,300 to €1,800 per month, depending on the city. 

The living costs in Hamburg are around €850 for a single person. 1-bedroom apartment rent is between €700 and €950, depending on the location. Thus, Germany is relatively expensive compared to countries in Central and Eastern Europe. 

German medical education follows the continental tradition where students receive a Medical Doctor (M.D.) degree. Therefore, the course takes 6 years to complete, and the degree gets worldwide recognition. 

Germany is the third leading destination for international students. It offers an outstanding quality of education focusing on innovation and accessibility. Furthermore, Germany is the 23rd safest country in the world, and foreigners can expect a tolerant and supportive environment. Finally, international students’ communities enjoy excellent opportunities for networking, career development, and recreational activities. 

Here you can study a 6-year medical programme in English, and each year 150 new students join UMCH’s ranks. This is a very competitive course; hence Medlink Students guarantees to support you throughout the admission procedure. Enquire now to learn more about this option. As for tuition fees, there are two available options to choose from: 

• Route A
  Year 1-6: €29,800/year at UMCH
• Route B

UMCH offers a Medical Foundation Track formerly known as pre-med courses to help you prepare for your future medical studies. During the courses, preexisting education is repeated while, at the same time, new knowledge is learned. The skills you will gain participating in one of the courses will greatly benefit you during your later studies.

All our courses are held in international academic English. Thus, the participants acquire essential technical vocabulary at an early stage.
