Will I get in
The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.

in order to enable them to meet the ever-changing challenges facing medicine, science, and society, and allow them to be accepted as leading experts in health care.
In-depth knowledge, in addition to an understanding of the fundamental scientific principles and methods, are essential for the successful application of acquired skills and psychosocial competencies in diagnosis and treatment. This training aims to enable students to understand and critically discuss the scientific and medical significance of hypotheses, concepts, and methods. This training therefore also ensures the continued evaluation and implementation of new research findings by physicians in clinical practice. Charité, its teaching staff, students and graduates all share an equal commitment to achieving excellence in medical education.
Career
There are only a few subjects that convey such varied classical and alternative career perspectives as medicine. This is a curse and a blessing at the same time, because as diverse as the choices for later careers may be, so early in some important decisions must be made in the study, which significantly influence the later career path.

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 via uni-assist until 15.01uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 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.
