HMU accepts applications at any time and without deadlines, with the same rule for all applicants. Human Medicine applications go through a separate portal, and admission uses an in-house test and interview. Applicants with a foreign school certificate first need a uni-assist pre-check, which takes about 4 to 6 weeks, so apply early if you need a visa.

How many programmes are taught in English?

None. The language of instruction at HMU is German, and applicants need German at B2 or higher.
