Choosing a career in medicine

It takes 13 semesters to study medicine, making it the longest and most time-consuming course of study in Germany. Many prospective students wonder whether they should even make the attempt.

In a 30-minute introductory lecture, we will look at the application and admission process for medicine and dentistry and the structure of the two programs. Afterwards, there will be plenty of time to answer your questions.
