Incomings
Dear incoming exchange student,
Welcome to our Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital in Aachen, the student’s city in the heart of Europe! The Faculty of Medicine and the University Hospital are placed under one big roof. This way we can work interdisciplinarily in the fields of teaching, patient care and research! We invite you to check our University Hospital with its many clinics, institutes and research work, visiting this link.

In order to apply after being nominated by your home university, please visit this link. You can apply if your coordinator at your home university nominated you as exchange student. Our Faculty of Medicine works with following application deadlines:

German language skills
The language requirement for incoming students taking either courses or clinical experience at our Faculty of Medicine is German B2. RWTH Sprachenzentrum offers intensive language courses during September, helping students to achieve the required level of German. Insufficient command of German (less than B2) is a reason for rejection of your application.
We strongly recommend the website MedineLingua to all our incoming (and outgoing!) students for the specific language preparation in Medicine.
