Condensed knowledge for your medical studies
You have already successfully graduated from high school and want to realize your dream of studying medicine?
During UMCH’s 12-week medical prep course, the Medical Foundation Track, you’ll join equally motivated prospective students in preparing for your dream of studying medicine. In the process, you will acquire essential basic 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.
Optimal preparation for your medical studies
Use your time until the start of your studies wisely to find out where you are lacking in knowledge, to close these gaps and to build on the newly acquired knowledge. In this way, you will gain self-confidence and motivation and, after completing the course, you will be able to start your time-intensive medical studies in a relaxed and optimally prepared manner. In addition to Biology, Chemistry and Physics, other subjects that are important for the study of medicine are also taught during the Medical Foundation Track (12 Weeks): Mathematics, Biochemistry, Anatomy and Medical Theory. Through laboratory exercises and other practical applications, the Medical Foundation Track also has an exceptionally high practical relevance. Classes are taught in English, the international language of science, which allows you to learn important technical vocabulary for your studies at an early stage. In addition, you will be specifically prepared for the university admission procedure in the course of the preparatory course. Finally, you will get the chance to participate in the admission procedure for the study of medicine at UMCH.
Experience an unforgettable time together
During the course you will meet many prospective medical students who, like you, are preparing for their upcoming studies and want to have an unforgettable time. This will give you a great opportunity to meet new people and make contacts with like-minded people early on. Explore the metropolis on the Elbe together – for example, on a bike tour into the beautiful nature of Hamburg’s surrounding countryside, on a harbor tour, or by visiting the city’s countless sights, such as the impressive Elbphilharmonie Concert Hall. In addition to the lessons in the natural science subjects, you can also expect other group activities, such as joint cooking activities or the opportunity to participate in the events of the UMCH lecture series ReachHigher. Here you will get to know your future fellow students better and – beyond the learning – get a taste of your future student life.
Three unforgettable months among like-minded people
In addition to acquiring extensive scientific knowledge, there are also opportunities to participate in social activities throughout the course – be it online, on campus, or while out exploring the beautiful city of Hamburg. After class, for example, there will be get-togethers with your fellow participants. Together, you can explore the city’s many attractions, which include the impressive Elbphilharmonie Concert Hall, the picturesque Treppenviertel district, and the Speicherstadt warehouse district – the world’s largest historic warehouse complex. You will also have the opportunity to meet current UMCH students who will share valuable tips about student life in Hamburg at large. This way, you are able to make early contacts with like-minded people and form new friendships. Moreover, you will be able to explore the cultural, culinary and social highlights of the northern German metropolis.
