Incoming – Studies at the MHB

We are pleased to learn that you are interested in performing part of your studies or a complete course of studies at the Brandenburg Medical School. For any questions in this context please contact the International Office.

What the Brandenburg Medical School stands for is a concept of medicine by humans for humans. Our students are supposed to acquire not only science-based medical knowledge but in addition all competences and skills required for medical doctors. Our study course of medicine is a model curriculum.

The standard period of studies in the medical curriculum at the Brandenburg Medical School including the exam period for the third part of the medical examination is six years and three months (§ 1 para 2 ÄApprO - regulations for the licensing of medical doctors).

The programme is divided into three sections. Contents of the first part (1st sem. up to and including 6th sem.) cover body organs and systems. Building on this, the second part of the programme (7th sem. up to and including 10th sem.) addresses typical phenomena from various stages in life and various disciplines. The third part (11th and 12th sem.) is the Practical Year.

Pursuant to licensing regulations for medical doctors governing medical training in the Practical Year (§ 3 ÄApprO), students complete three internships of sixteen weeks respectively during the Practical Year. The programme concludes with the third section of the medical examination pursuant to licensing regulations for medical doctors.

Im course catalogue offers detailed information on modules. More information is available from the Section Curricular Development and Coordination.

Teaching formats

Teaching formats at the MHB denote a fresh, innovative and well thought out approach to medical issues. Our didactic concept enables students to perceive and understand medicine in new ways. Course contents are addressed repeatedly in the sense of a learning spiral, i.e. in increasing detail and complexity corresponding to progressive levels of training. Small groups facilitate intensive exchange to share acquired knowledge and clarify open questions. They are the ideal context to practise scientific methods of problem solving and train students in life-long learning. The focus of instruction is on not only practical but also communicative and psychosocial skills.

For a more detailed description of the teaching formats we use, see the following list with short explanations:

Problem oriented learning (POL)

Students meet twice per week in small groups with a maximum of eight participants, supervised by specially trained instructors.

These groups tackle one medical issue respectively, possibly related to module topics. Students address the resulting learning objectives either in self-study or in seminars, practical exercises, internships or lectures. In this manner they broaden and supplement acquired knowledge. In the second group meeting participants present and discuss the results of their work.

Seminars

Interdisciplinary seminars on clinical-theoretical basics serve to deepen knowledge, convey correlations across subjects and disciplines, and create references between theoretical and practical subject matter. Seminars are interactive and may include keynote presentations.

Seminars in Human and Health Sciences take the form of seminar courses during the lecture period on:

  • Guiding principles of medical ethics and practice,

  • Health Sciences and

  • Methods of scientific work.

Seminars focus primarily on scientific, social, philosophical, ethical, historical and methodological aspects of medicine.

Lectures

Additional to the seminars, lectures are presented to convey complex subject matter or to give overviews of comprehensive fields of expertise.

Tutorials

Tutorials in Diagnostics and Therapy convey practical medical skills in the fields of diagnostics and therapy (e.g. blood sampling, physical examination, sonography, suture course). These practical exercises are organised with the same participants as the POL groups.

Bedside teaching is organised in small groups. For live demonstrations involving patients the group size is limited to six students, and to three students for examinations of patients. In this format students may examine patients under supervision.

Tutorials on teamwork, reflection, interaction and communication (TRIK) convey skills of professional communication in the context of medical activities, in some instances with simulation patients. The independent curriculum underlying the TRIK concept is taught in small term-overlapping groups.

Internships

Practical training includes instruction in institutions of medical and psychosocial primary, secondary and tertiary care as well as research facilities. Internships serve to train skills and competences in teams and to test acquired knowledge in practice.

Groups of up to 16 students acquire and train practical skills and competences in internships. Among the topics addressed are the anatomical and scientific fundamentals of medicine, and clinical disciplines as well as fields of clinical and medical theory, such as medical ethics, medical law, biochemistry, pharmacology and microbiology.

Practice Days (for practical training in general medicine and outpatient care) are mainly organised as two-week periods for 2nd-to 5th-semester students in general medical practices of outpatient care. Students attend medical consultations in an observing and possibly assisting capacity and may also be involved in the examination, advising and treatment of patients at the physician’s discretion and depending on a student’s level of training.

The course Introduction to careers in medicine (1st to 5th semester) gives insights into various occupational areas (such as public health service, sickness funds, nursing homes, hospices, occupational medicine, pharmaceutical industry, research institutions).

Hospital ward internships constitute the primary integrative teaching and learning formats in the hospital (equivalent to block training, § 2 ÄApprO). This is where medical students are trained in the differential diagnostics and therapy of the main diseases under conditions of daily clinical practice. The focus is on bedside teaching and students’ increasing responsibilities in patient care. The internships are combined with theoretical instruction units to ensure close integration of theory and practice and, where applicable, complemented by interdisciplinary theory sessions (foundation courses). The module scheme for the hospital ward internship is as follows:

  • Gynaecology and obstetrics

  • Paediatrics

  • Neurology

  • Psychiatry

  • Internal medicine

  • Geriatrics

  • Surgery

  • Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care

  • Elective subjects, so called small subjects (e.g. ophthalmology, dermatology, ENT, urology)

The Research Internship gives insights into methods of academic work with a focus on students’ individual interests. 6th-semester students complete this period in a facility of inpatient or outpatient care, an institute or research institution to gain an impression of this organisation and/or a specific subject area. They are required to formulate and address a topic with a clearly defined research question or work assignment. As part elements of the internship, research workshops and colloquia are organised during the second stage of the programme to broaden the knowledge acquired in the first stage and continue ongoing research activities (scientific portfolio).

Case presentation

Case presentations in the second stage are the context where students present authentic patient histories including findings and therapies. Instructors and students jointly develop proposals for further clinical action and discuss diagnostic and therapeutic options, guidelines and main symptoms. The number of participants corresponds to that of seminars.

Case discussions

Case discussions take place within the modules that involve hospital ward internships. Unlike case presentations, each participating students presents an authentic patient history for debate in a small group monitored by instructors.

Clinical traineeship

The four-month activity as a clinical trainee follows after the 5th semester in the lecture-free period after successful completion of exams and performance checks stipulated for the first five semesters. The idea is to acquaint students with daily medical work in hospitals and outpatient care. The clinical traineeship needs to be completed up to the second part of medical examinations, and to be documented according to the template in appendix 6 of medical licensing regulations upon registration for the second part of medical examinations.
The clinical traineeship is to be arranged as follows: two months in a hospital or inpatient rehabilitation facility, one month in an outpatient care facility under medical supervision or a suitable doctor’s practice, and one further month in a facility of GP care.

Practical Year

In the third section of the programme (48 weeks) students have to complete continuous practical work pursuant to § 3(3) of medical licensing regulations in the following medical subjects:

  • Internal medicine,

  • Surgery,

  • General medicine, or one of the further clinical-practical disciplines other than the two mentioned above.

Pursuant to § 3(1a) ÄApprO the university draws up a training plan (logbook) to be adhered to in the training of medical students. For more information on the Practical Year see here.

Studium Fundamentale

Teaching events in the context of Studium Fundamentale address topics outside the field of medicine, such as humanities or arts.

Natural science tutorial

The tutorial in natural sciences in the first section of medical studies serves to expand knowledge of basic subjects such as physics, chemistry and biology.

Grading system

Below you find detailed information on the grading system and examination formats for the course of studies in medicine. A Learning Agreement will be concluded between your institution and the MHB to ensure compatibility between the two systems and take all requirements in terms of time and content duly into account. Here you find an example of a Learning Agreement. Please contact the International Office of your home institution to draw up a Learning Agreement.

The successful completion of a module requires an obligatory attendance of at least 85% for these teaching events: POL, TRIK, Practice Day and Hospital Ward Internships. In addition, a student’s examination performance must be at least 60%. On the basis of these results, exchange students will then receive a Transcript of Records to document their academic performance.

ECTS credits are used to grade a student’s performance in the modules of the medical curriculum. Here is an overview. ECTS credits are credit points which students can acquire as evidence of academic performance at an institution of tertiary education. They serve as a quantitative tool to describe the workload for students that is required to complete their learning activities at a specific level and achieve the specified results. Here is more information.

Examination formats

In general, each semester (first section of medical curriculum) and each module (second section of medical curriculum) conclude with one written and one practical examination respectively. Upon conclusion of the 10th subject-related semester students take the 2nd part of the medical examination, and after the Practical Year the third part, and they conclude their studies with a state examination.

Written examinations
The following test formats, in part with open-ended questions, are used at the MHB:

  • Multiple Choice format (MCQ): written tests with predefined answers to select from.

  • Modified Essay Questions (MEQ): written tests with short answers in free text and sequential questions to be answered consecutively.

  • Free formats in writing: project documentations, term papers, posters, patient reports and modified essays. A final oral presentation may also be requested where appropriate.

Combined examinations
The following oral, written and/or practical test formats are used at the MHB:

  • Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE): Students pass a sequence of test stations where they examine simulation patients or handle subject-specific objects (e.g. medical-diagnostic findings, models, preparations). Examiners use standardised checklists to assess students’ performance.

  • Objective Structured Pre-Clinical Examination (OSPE): Students pass a sequence of test stations where they have to complete several given assignments using models, preparations or visual material.

  • Site-specific clinical examinations: Students perform clinical test assignments (e.g. anamnesis, consultation, physical examination) with simulation patients. Standardised questionnaires serve to assess performance.

Portfolio
Students must provide evidence of a stipulated amount of academic achievements to be completed within a defined period, e.g. in the course of a module or the entire second stage of medical studies. These study results can be achieved in written, verbal or practical form or a combination thereof.

Teaching formats

For a more detailed description of the teaching formats we use, see the following list with short explanations:

Lectures

Lectures are teaching formats where instructors primarily present information in an interactive atmosphere.

Proseminars

Proseminars comprise conveyance of theoretical knowledge by instructors as well as students’ own contributions, to be rendered in the form of presentations, debates, case discussions and/or a written term paper.

POL seminars / advanced seminars

Problem oriented learning (POL) is a method of teaching and learning which facilitates the acquisition and structured exchange of knowledge and aims to trigger cognitive processes in students. Advanced seminars pursue the same objectives, with the additional requirement of students’ own contributions.

Tutorials

Tutorials are the context where selected and defined subject matter from a lecture is transferred to application. The focus here is on the process of monitored but independent comprehension and reproduction, i.e. exercise, along specified applications and decisions, procedures, assignments, problems or difficulties. The core objective is to strengthen students’ competences of action and decision-making.

Team work, reflection, interaction, communication (TRIK)

Core elements in TRIK seminars are the conveyance, practice and acquisition of relational skills. One key focus, apart from basics in communication psychology, is on self-awareness, e.g. via role plays. Students are encouraged to develop a fundamental attitude of empathy and to acquire the necessary competences for successful communication with patients, relatives, colleagues and staff.

Internship

Components of the internship include the obligatory Clinic Day on wards or in functional clinic divisions of university clinics or partner hospitals, and the obligatory internship period.

Test subjects

Acting as test subjects, students gain valuable insights not only into the role of the object under examination but also into the structures and procedures of psychological examinations in various areas of the discipline.

Grading system

Below you find detailed information on the grading system and examination formats for the Psychology programmes. A Learning Agreement will be concluded between your institution and the MHB to ensure compatibility between the two systems and take all requirements in terms of time and content duly into account.

General information

Coming to the MHB from another country, many things will be unfamiliar to you. On this page we have compiled essentials you need to know and observe – prior to and/or during your stay.

Semester dates

As a rule, a semester at German universities covers 13 to 14 weeks and concludes with an examination period of one to two weeks. The examination period is followed by lecture-free time. International students may use this time to explore the region or Germany, or travel through Europe.

For currently valid semester dates see here.

Study costs

The MHB charges tuition fees. For more details see the descriptions of individual degree programmes. In addition, enrolled students pay a contribution per semester of currently 230 € (semester ticket for public transport in Berlin and Brandenburg = 170 € plus social contribution = 60 €).

Accommodation

The MHB is not in a position to arrange accommodation for you but we cooperate closely with local partners. You will need to explore the housing market on your own initiative.

Entry and visa

EU nationals – Students

As a student from an EU country you can enter Germany without a visa and do not need a residence permit, only an identity document issued in your home country. But you must register with the local registration authorities within 7 days after arrival in Germany. For this, you need a fixed address for an apartment or shared flat. Youth hostels or guest houses cannot be specified as places of permanent residence. For addresses and office hours of registration authorities see the websites of municipalities and districts.

If you plan to take up an employment, please contact the relevant immigration authorities in advance to enquire about requirements and procedures to observe.

EU nationals – Interns/trainees

As a rule, internships involve practical work and training at MHB clinics but no attendance at lectures; interns will therefore not be enrolled as students. This applies to internships in psychology and also to clinical traineeships and Practical Year tertials in medicine. As a consequence, interns do not obtain student status and are not entitled to semester tickets.

If you plan to take up an employment, please contact the relevant immigration authorities in advance to enquire about requirements and procedures to observe.

Non-EU nationals – Students

Before coming to Germany, non-EU nationals must apply for a visa to the German embassy or German consulate in their home country. Please bear in mind that processing can take up to 6-8 weeks approximately. For more information on application procedures please contact the relevant embassy. You find all important information about German agencies abroad on the website of the Foreign Office: Auswärtiges Amt.

There are some countries whose nationals may also apply for a residence permit after they have entered Germany. You find a list of these countries and additional information on application procedures on the website of the German Academic Exchange Service: Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD).

If you plan to take up an employment, please contact the relevant immigration authorities in advance to enquire about requirements and procedures to observe.

Non-EU nationals – Interns/trainees

Nationals from countries outside the EU (non-EU trainees/interns) require a visa to enter Germany. Please apply for a visa to the German embassy or German consulate in your home country prior to your trip to Germany. Please bear in mind that processing may take up to 6-8 weeks. For more information on application procedures please contact the relevant embassy.

Please note that you may apply for different visa types if you plan an internship (Schengen visa or national visa). You should enquire from the German embassy or consulate which kind of visa is appropriate in your case. This may depend, among other things, upon the duration of your internship in Germany or a possible extension at a later time. Please note that a tourist visa does not meet requirements of internships.

There are some countries whose nationals may also apply for a residence permit after they have entered Germany. You find a list of these countries and additional information on application procedures on the website of the German Academic Exchange Service: Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD).

Prospective trainees in particular may encounter problems when applying for a residence permit or visa. You are therefore advised to contact the German embassy or consulate in any case before you travel to Germany to enquire about the documents you need to apply for a trainee visa in Germany.

If you plan to take up an employment, please contact the relevant immigration authorities in advance to enquire about requirements and procedures to observe.

Health insurance

Enrollment at the MHB is not possible without proof of health insurance. When taking out German or international health insurance, please request a membership or student certificate to be presented upon enrolment at the MHB. 

Leaving the MHB

We very much hope you enjoyed your stay at the MHB and can imagine coming back to Brandenburg at some time in the future. Please remember to return all borrowed items (such as transponders or key).

These are the documents to be issued by the university or institution where you spent your internship before you go home:

Buddy programme

Starting out at the university is exciting for all new students, and even more so for international students who may be challenged by language problems or cultural differences. The Buddy programme provides international students with a contact person for information, support and advice. Buddies have no official status; they are MHB student volunteers with an interest in cultures worldwide, and they want to make international students feel welcome at all MHB locations.

Registration as an international student

You will come to the MHB and would like to have (a) contact person(s) for support prior to your arrival? Please send the application form for the Buddy programme to international@mhb-fontane.de.

Studies abroad with child

We recommend international students with a child to enquire about individual arrangements with the MHB. Feel free to contact Dunja Bruch (mail: gleichstellung@mhb-fontane.de). For recommendations and exchange you may contact our student team „Studieren mit Kind“ (mail: studieren-mit-kind@mhb-fontane.de), or see here.

Language

The language of instruction at the MHB is German. You need a good command of the German language to follow lessons and to interact with patients.

If you come to the MHB for an internship (except a Practical Year tertial) or a research period, German language skills are not obligatory but desirable.

The MHB currently does not offer German language courses. But such courses may be attended at institutes in Brandenburg (TU Brandenburg, VHS Brandenburg) and Berlin.
