Study in medicine

The goal of the degree study program in medicine at Paracelsus Medical Private University (PMU) is to educate competent and scientifically thinking physicians. Our graduates must be adequate to the requirements of modern medicine and practice humane, patient-oriented medicine.

80 students are admitted per year at the Salzburg location, 55 students at the Nuremberg location. They are selected in an elaborate, three-stage admission procedure. Hereby we are oriented towards socially engaged and highly motivated applicants who bring clearly expressed interest in man as biological and social being and in the natural-science and psychosocial aspects of the diseases.

The medicine curriculum of Paracelsus University was accredited in 2002 and since then it has been re-accredited in regular intervals. The structure of the study content is oriented to the modern American medical schools. The successful completion of the first part of the American entrance examination (USMLE Step 1) is obligatory at Paracelsus University and is a necessary condition for the completion of the course of study. The study ends with the degree of "Dr. med. univ." and is internationally recognised.

Study locations and partners in the study

The degree study program medicine has been offered in Salzburg (Austria) since 2003 and since 2014 also in Nuremberg (Germany). The study is supported by the university’s own institutes and their departments, academic teaching hospitals, general medicine teaching practices and external instructors at the respective study location.

Important partners in the clinical area are the Salzburg University Hospital and the Nuremberg Hospital. In the natural sciences area, the medical education is carried out, among others, by qualified lecturers at the Natural Sciences Faculty of the Paris Lodron University in Salzburg and at the Technical University Georg Simon Ohm. In the fourth and fifth study year, the students can complete a study stay abroad at international partners within the framework of the research trimester and the clinical internship.
