Application & Admission
Application information

Complete the online application form aus (available only during the application period).

The online application form collects personal data, including various statistical details and your preferred study location. You can choose from the following study locations:

• Salzburg
• Nuremberg
• No location preference: By selecting this option, you agree that your study location will be assigned randomly by PMU (for more information, see the admissions process).
   

Important notes:

• Ensure you provide a valid email address, as communication with applicants will primarily occur via email.
• Once admitted, changing your study location is not possible due to the limited number of places (80 in Salzburg and 55 in Nuremberg).

• CV (tabular form) with a scanned photo
• Motivation letter
• Application photo
• Certificate of general university entrance qualification (or the university entrance examination for medicine); transcripts from the last two completed school years (exception: for German Abitur, only the final certificate is needed)
• All certificates/proofs of additional education/training
• Proof of at least four weeks of professional field exploration (internship/volunteering)

To demonstrate a thoughtful consideration of your career choice, confirmation of a professional field exploration is required. This exploration is a criterion for the admission process and must be completed before the start of studies. The four-week exploration can be split into parts. If you have not yet completed the professional field exploration, please include a confirmation of your internship commitment.

The internship must be completed before the start of studies (September 2, 2024).

You can complete this internship/professional field exploration/volunteering at one of the following institutions:

• Regular service with the Red Cross, Samaritan Federation, or White Cross South Tyrol

• Volunteering in a medical practice (specialist, general practitioner, or dentist)

Important Notes:
