Admission requirements

In order to participate in this degree programme, you must go through a two-stage application process, which includes a written application process and a personal selection process. During the selection process, you are required to demonstrate your personal suitability and motivation through a written medical test and an individual interview with an integrated case simulation. A written application is mandatory.

The admission process for studying medicine at MSH consists of two stages: a written test and an individual interview. New students entering the clinical phase of studies and lateral entrants after the first semester are exempt from this.

Written Test: A 90-minute multiple-choice test will assess basic scientific principles in biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. The results count towards 25% of the admission decision. The test is internal to the university; external tests like the TMS are not recognised.

Individual Interview with Case Simulation: In a 20-minute video interview, personal suitability, motivation, resilience, as well as experience and commitment are evaluated. A case simulation is also part of the interview. This section carries a weight of 75% in the admission decision.

The entire process is conducted digitally. Upon successful completion of the process, a study place will be offered for the next available semester, depending on availability. Early applications are recommended. Participants with pending high school qualifications can participate on a provisional basis, provided they successfully pass the high school examination.

      @lara Hi, the admission process for medical studies at MSH involves a two-step procedure: a written test and an individual interview. The written test, lasting 90 minutes, assesses fundamental knowledge in biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics through multiple-choice questions. This test accounts for 25% of the admission decision and is mandatory for all applicants, as external tests like the TMS are not accepted. Transfer students to advanced stages or after the first semester are exempt from this process.

      The individual interview, conducted via video call, lasts 20 minutes and includes a case simulation. Applicants are assessed on their suitability, motivation, resilience, and relevant experiences, such as social engagement or prior education in healthcare fields. This interview weighs 75% in the decision. The entire process is digital, and successful candidates are offered a study place depending on availability for the next semester. Early application is advised, and applicants awaiting their high school diploma may participate conditionally upon passing their exams.

      Fees for the applications process are 500 Euros.
