Course list with ECTS

Accreditation of student records from abroad

Before submitting your application please clarify with your coordinator at your home university which courses are relevant for recognition by your university. The choice of courses will then be defined in the Learning Agreement between the student, the home university and the partner university.

Course Catalogue

You will find the course catalogue here.

Every "Querschnittsbereich" (Q1-Q14) contains 3 additional "Kompetenzfelder" (additional interdisciplinary subjects with lectures, exams and in some cases practical trainings), please see list.

Please note: As you can choose courses from 6 different clinical semesters, sometimes lecture overlaps cannot be avoided!
