Welcome to the beautiful city of Hamburg! Internationality is important to us. That's why we want students from all over the world to feel comfortable at our university. For this we offer you an excellent, individual support. The familial atmosphere of the MSH and the seminar work in small groups enable a good contact to German students, so that you can quickly settle into Hamburg.

If you wish to study for one or two semesters at MSH Medical School Hamburg, you can apply as a student coming from a partner university (link) (Erasmus + / SEMP / Exchange or Study Abroad Agreement) or as a so-called Free Mover (regular tuition fees apply, which can be provided upon request). If your university is a partner university (existing cooperation agreement with MSH), please inquire about the internal regulations at the International Office of your institution and note that your home university must nominate you to us before you send your application documents.
