Study Program
Studies at UMCH are divided into six academic years, beginning annually in September/October. Each academic year consists of 28 weeks of instruction, divided into two semesters. The first four semesters consist of two modules each, lasting a total of 14 weeks. Starting with the 5th semester, the subdivision into modules is omitted. In the first two years, students complete the preclinical part of their studies, and from the third year on, the clinical part. The preclinical part of the studies takes place mainly in Germany. The first three years of study include only three modules of two weeks each, completed in Targu Mures, Romania. The clinical part (3rd to 6th year of study) can be alternated between the Hamburg campus and the UMFST-UMCH Teaching Hospitals and Practices.
