MSH Medical School Hamburg for International Students

MSH is a private, state-recognised university and charges monthly tuition, set per programme. No separate rate for non-EU students is published. New students pay a one-off enrolment fee of 100 EUR, and Human Medicine also has an application fee of 500 EUR per selection procedure.

Tuition fees do not replace the proof of funds. For the student visa you still need to show 11,904 EUR for the year (2026), usually in a blocked account, on top of the tuition you pay the university.

MSH admits students without a numerus clausus and without tight application deadlines; applicants who need a visa should apply several months before the start to leave time for the visa process. Applications go through the MSH application portal. Human Medicine uses a two-stage selection with a written medical aptitude test and an individual interview. International applicants need German at B2 for most programmes and C1 for medicine.

MSH offers no degree programme taught in English. Courses are taught mainly in German, and international applicants need German at B2 for most programmes and C1 for Human Medicine.
