Unlike almost all other subjects, which have a two-tier system (undergraduate/Bachelor + Graduate/Master), medical studies are traditionally structured. The university course of study lasts 6 years and 3 months (standard period of study) and concludes with the so-called state examination.
If you want to do the full training in Germany and become a doctor here, you must be able to speak German. The only exceptions are some Bachelor’s and Master’s programs in the field of health sciences that are conducted in English but do not lead to approbation to work as a physician.

Medical studies are among the most competitive subjects – because the demand of students who want to become medical doctors is much bigger than the number of places available. The application procedure is rather complex. As a rule of thumb, you need to have an excellent GPA in your A-Levels and/or meet one of the alternative application requirements that allow you to get admitted (e.g. admission test, interview, several years of work experience).
At the public universities the study is basically free of charge (exception: non-EU foreigners in Baden-Württermberg and certain Masters). At the private universities the fees are about 50,000 – 100,000 € in total.
