The system of study in Germany is not splitted into
undergraduate and postgraduate studies as in the United States of America and in
the UK. At German universities a first academic degree (Diplom/Magister/Staatsexamen)
can be obtained after 5 to 7 years of specific study and it is regarded as the
equivalent internationally as a master’s degree. In Germany it takes 6 years to
complete human medicine under the German State Examination system (Staatsexamen
). In reality it can take 7-8 years. The admission for human medicine studies in
Germany is restricted, the so-called numerus clausus.
Studying Costs: Normally state-maintained
higher education institutions do not charge tuition fees
