A Vast Network of Teaching Hospitals and Practices

From the third year of study, students undergo their clinical-practical training in a network of over 30 teaching hospitals and practices. This training includes practical activities, such as assisting in surgeries under the guidance of experienced professionals, and may also take place in international institutions where knowledge of the local language is required. The combination of theoretical lessons on campus and the practical phases in teaching hospitals enables a close link between theory and practice. The study program lasts six years, with the first two years dedicated to pre-clinical studies and the last four years focused on the clinical phase.

University Research

Close Integration of Research and Teaching

The largest and most research-intensive medical university , playing a central role in advancing evidence-based medicine. Through innovative technologies and diagnostic and therapeutic methods developed at the university, health risk factors can be identified early and treatments continuously improved. Alongside high-quality teaching, research is a key focus area. The combine research and teaching, allowing students to gain practical insights into the latest findings. In addition to interdisciplinary projects, the university collaborates with over 150 international experts. This intensive research work regularly results in patents and publications presented at national and international scientific conferences.

Transfer

Transfer structures

The master's program in bioinformatics combines the knowledge areas of life sciences and computer science.

The aims to establish the transfer of research results for the benefit of mankind as an equally important goal alongside research, teaching and patient care. To realise this important task, a Dean for Transfer has been appointed. The Dean's Office for Transfer realises this goal together with the hospital Technology Transfer Office (TTO) and the hospital Accelerator.

New, high quality research results are produced every day at the hospital. Although these results are usually published in high-ranking national and international journals and thus made available to the public, they often do not end up where they are most needed: in improving people's health and quality of life. Translating a research finding, or even just an idea, into a 'product' that improves the diagnosis and treatment of patients or the prevention of disease in healthy people requires not only a broad range of expertise, but also considerable financial resources that cannot be provided by the healthcare system and/or traditional third-party funding agencies such as the German Research Foundation (DFG), the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) or the European Union.

In order to facilitate the development from idea to product, the Dean's Office for Transfer, the TTO and the hospital Accelerator work closely together in the following areas

Health care

Patients and visitors

Whether you're an inpatient or an outpatient, you're always in the best hands . Our doctors, nurses, and all other hospital staff strive to make your stay with us as pleasant as possible.To inform you in advance about your inpatient stay or outpatient treatment, we have compiled the most important information for you.

The Faculty of Medicine and the university hospital aim to promote health and quality of life at a high level.

A patient focus, academic excellence, internationality and equality of opportunity are standards in our actions.
