Medicine

The state-accredited Brandenburg Model Medical Study Program (BMM) stands for practice-oriented and science-based teaching concepts as well as the unity of research, teaching, and patient care. The medical studies program at MHB is highly oriented towards clinical practice and patients and aims to optimally prepare students, both professionally and personally, for the challenges of their profession.

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.
