MSH Medical School Hamburg is a private, state-recognised university in Hamburg. It combines two profiles in one institution: a University of Applied Sciences and a Medical University, built around the education of “Health Professionals” and teamwork across disciplines.
The university is organised into four faculties. Two are application-oriented (Health Sciences; Art, Health and Social Science), and two have a university-level research focus (Human Sciences; Medicine). Programmes cover areas such as Human Medicine (state exam), psychology, nursing, biomedicine, therapy-related fields, social work, and health management.
Teaching is largely campus-based to develop communication and practical skills, complemented by modern digital elements. Depending on the programme, study formats may include full-time, part-time or career-integrated options. For some highly competitive fields, selection can emphasise motivation and aptitude alongside formal requirements.
Practice orientation is central: MSH works with clinical and professional partners and offers learning opportunities close to real care settings. In medicine, the structure is linked to partner clinics: the pre-clinical phase takes place in Hamburg, while the clinical phase is completed at the university’s campus at Helios Kliniken Schwerin, with options for practical training in the clinical environment.
MSH has locations in Hamburg (including HafenCity and Harburg) and a medical training site in Schwerin. An International Office supports mobility and integration; a network of partner universities enables study-abroad experiences. Graduates typically move into patient care, therapy and rehabilitation, clinical psychology and psychotherapy pathways (where applicable), healthcare management, prevention, research or innovation-driven health sectors.
