MEDICINE IN GERMANY Germany offers students of Medicine a broad selection of first-rate universities. Among these are large schools, such as Munich or Berlin, but also smaller ones, like Greifswald and Essen. There are old schools with long traditions, as in Heidelberg and Göttingen, and newer institutions, such as Düsseldorf and Regensburg. This diversity is, without a doubt, an enormous asset and underscored even more so by the fact that all of these schools ensure an education at the highest level. A total of 35 universities in Germany offer degrees in medicine. Studying medicine in Germany generally takes a little more than six years. The initial, basic studies program lasts four semesters with an emphasis on the Natural Sciences - Physics, Chemistry, Biology and the Fundamentals of Medicine - Physiology, Biochemistry, Anatomy. This first phase ends with a state-administered medical examination. With the successful completion of this phase, the student moves on to the main, six-semester course of study in core areas of medicine that includes lecture, seminar and laboratory work. This is followed by a 48-week practical training period in a clinic or hospital, known as the practical year, focusing on surgery, internal medicine and an elected subject chosen by the student. This segment ends with the second medical exam and can be followed by training to become a specialist; for example, in Ophthalmology, Surgery, or Neurology. Depending on the specialty, this can take between four and six years and ends with the specialist examination conducted by the Medical Association. The tuition cost is one of the lowest among the developed countries. Most of the universities do not charge tuition fees except the semester contribution and the student union fees. The fees can be very high in private universities. Nevertheless, the quality of education is very much the same at both the types of universities. Students who have completed their 12 years of schooling or A-levels must complete a one year preparatory course at the so called Studienkolleg, the requirements of which is Zertifikat Deutsch ( The Zertifikat Deutsch (ZD) is an internationally recognized exam of German language ability) in most cases, followed by an examination known as Aufnamheprufung ( Entrance Examination ).
