Universities

In Germany, two distinctive medical university systems have come into effect recently as following:

Must have fluent German language skills (B2 = high-intermediate) level or higher
Either graduation from German/Austrian/Swiss secondary education
or 1-2 foundation year (*Studienkolleg) + special qualification exam (*competitive even with fluent German language skills)
Tuition Fee ranges $1,000 – $2,000 per year (*all-fee-inclusive, except for living cost)
Must deposit the “annual average living cost” at German banks (*this is called “Sparekonto,” which cannot be withdrawn more than $900 per month)

Only 1 program currently active
100% English-taught
No German Skills required (*all foreign students take a mandatory German language course 6 hours per week for 2 years)
Easier entry than German exams
Affiliated German teaching hospitals from 3rd year (*allowing easier “Residency in Germany“)
Country-by-country additional qualification applied to non-EU high schools (*NOT based on the nationality of applicant)
Easier transfer from EU medical universities
Higher tuition fee than German programs (*less than 50% of average tuition fees at US medical schools)
Must deposit the “annual average living cost” at German banks (*this is called “Sparekonto,” which cannot be withdrawn more than $900 per month)
