The BM(EU) follows the traditional Bachelor of Medicine 5-year programme (BM5) , but is delivered across 2 countries in 2 languages, allowing you to compare and contrast 2 successful healthcare systems. It is 1 year shorter than traditional German medical programmes.

You will also undertake student selected units in medical humanities and public health interventions. Year 2 includes a Research into Medicine and Health module, as well as systems-based modules to equip you with the basic tools to understand research methodology and prepare you for your research project.
