MSH Medical School Hamburg

MSH Medical School Hamburg, founded in 2009, is a private institution with dual status as both a University of Applied Sciences and Medical University, enrolling approximately 3,000 students in health-related programs across two faculties in Hamburg. This private university offers bachelor's and master's programs in medicine (since 2019), psychology, physiotherapy, nursing, health management, medical education, and various therapy sciences, with the unique structure allowing both practice-oriented Fachhochschule degrees and research-oriented university degrees including a state examination in medicine. Located in Hamburg's HafenCity district near the Elbe River, the university operates from modern facilities in Germany's second-largest city where living costs average €900-1,200 monthly, with the medical campus utilizing teaching hospitals throughout Hamburg for clinical training. As a private institution, MSH charges substantial tuition fees varying by program, with medicine and psychology programs among the most expensive, though offering alternative admission paths without NC restrictions for students unable to access highly competitive public university places in these fields.

Most Selective Study Programs at MSH Medical School Hamburg

For degree courses with a numerus clausus, part of the study places are allocated according to the grade point average (GPA) of the previous degree. Selection is generally based on how many applicants apply for a place. The higher the grade, the more difficult it is to get onto the course. The German grading system ranges from 1.0 (very good) to 6.0 (unsatisfactory).
