Quality of Teaching
Teaching at MHB takes place within a setting that integrates research and patient care, is accompanied by quality assurance measures such as the Progress Test Medicine, and is supported by high-quality, modern teaching infrastructure.

The quality of teaching and study conditions at universities is generally not easy to measure. However, a good indicator is the pass and completion rate within the standard period of study: The vast majority of MHB medical students successfully complete the 2nd and 3rd State Examinations within the standard period of study. 98 percent of MHB students pass the second State Examination on their first attempt.
In the results of the 2nd Medical Examination, which is centrally set and evaluated by the IMPP, MHB students regularly perform on a par with students from other faculties. In the results of the most recent written final examinations, MHB students even outperformed some other renowned medical faculties. Even if the statistical differences are minimal and not really meaningful for professional practice, the examination results nevertheless show that the quality of teaching in the Brandenburg model medical degree program is overall at a high level. The detailed results of the second State Examination can be found here.
Progress Test Medicine (PTM)
The high quality of teaching at MHB is ensured not only by these examination results, but even earlier through continuous internal evaluations and the subsequent further development of the teaching program. These achievements can also be seen in the results of the regularly conducted Progress Test Medicine (PTM). Around 10,000 students from 15 faculties in Germany and Austria take part each year in this test, which was developed, compiled, and evaluated by Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin. MHB students also regularly achieve above-average results in this test.
Very good student-to-faculty ratio
Another key reason for the high quality of teaching lies in the student-to-faculty ratio, which reflects how many students there are per professorship. The national average is 1 to 65, with clear regional differences: Thuringia leads the federal states with a ratio of 1 to 43, while NRW ranks last with a ratio of 1 to 90. With a ratio of 1 to 14, MHB offers an outstanding student-to-faculty ratio nationwide, which also indicates excellent quality of teaching and study conditions.
What you study
The Brandenburg Model Medical Degree Program (BMM) has been state-recognized since 2015 and follows the model clause under Section 41 of the Medical Licensure Regulations (ÄApprO). Together with our university hospitals in Bernau, Brandenburg an der Havel, Neuruppin, and Rüdersdorf, as well as numerous other partner clinics and academic teaching practices in the state of Brandenburg, it stands for a practice-oriented, research-based, competency-oriented, and interdisciplinary medical degree program at the highest academic and medical level.

Pick programmesRequirements and application
| Previous education | A school certificate that gives access to university in Germany — directly or after a Studienkolleg. |
|---|---|
| Language | German C1 — confirmed by a certificate when you apply |
| Application | Directly to the university, winter semester until 07.06, summer semester until 29.11 |
The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2German up to C1 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application directly to the university until 29.11Send the documents well before the deadline — an incomplete application cannot be completed after it.
- 5Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
