Bianca on her selection interview
Bianca on her selection interview, her reasons to apply for a place at UMCH and her impression of Hamburg.
The University Targu Mures Medical Campus Hamburg is a German branch of the University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science, and Technology of Targu Mures – the most renowned and largest medical university in Romania.
In Germany, without waiting time, high practical relevance, state- of-the-art campus infrastructure – with the degree program in Human Medicine at UMCH in Hamburg you create the best possible foundation for your career as a doctor.
No need to have completed a pre med (several years of undergraduate studies) or have taken the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) to start studying at UMCH
Significantly lower tuition fees than in a lot of other countries – in the USA, for example, studying medicine costs about twice as much
Shorter duration of studies (6 years) compared to many countries where you have to study for up to 12 years
As a UMCH graduate you bring a unique profile with you: You have an international, English language education as well as an invaluable wealth of experience in the field of practice in German teaching hospitals.
Excellent chances on the German labor market due to the shortage of specialists in Germany (during your residency, you are free to choose in which specialist area you would like to specialize)
People trained in Germany enjoy a high reputation worldwide and are among the best paid worldwide.
On Monday, 9/30/2019, the opening of University Targu Mures Medical Campus Hamburg (UMCH) took place at the university’s premises in Hamburg-Bahrenfeld. The opening ceremony was a complete success. In the presence of well-known experts from health and education policy, more than 300 guests gathered at the UMCH medical campus – including many first-year students and their guardians.
The UMCH campus in Hamburg, Germany impresses with approximately 6,000 m² of teaching and study space: barrier-free lecture, seminar and administration rooms as well as laboratories of various types. This also includes a modern campus infrastructure as well as multimedia high-tech equipment for all room types, enabling students to study digitally.
This time Melina visits the Deaconess Foundation Hospital Speyer near Heidelberg. She gets an overview of the intensive care unit and cardiology and learns what makes teaching at this UMCH teaching hospital so special and what tasks the UMCH students can take on during their clinical internships in the various specialist departments.

In the process, you will acquire essential scientific knowledge in a university setting, participate in on-campus events, and get a multi-faceted taste of your future student life – whether on the ultra-modern UMCH campus in cosmopolitan Hamburg or online!
