What are the eligibility requirements and how does one apply to the program?

To be eligible for the Switch program, you should have completed a Bachelor's degree in a scientific or medical field.

Admission to the university program takes place once a year at the beginning of the academic year in the fall. The number of available spots is based on the open positions in the subsequent Master's program.

Language Admission Requirements

Proficiency in German (C1 level) and English (B2 level) is required. If your language proficiency at the specified levels is not evident from the submitted application documents, the program director may request additional proof on a case-by-case basis.

The additional Latin examination must be completed by the end of the first year of study, unless at least 10 weekly hours of Latin were successfully completed at a secondary school.

  • Strong motivation
  • Social competence
  • Understanding of ethical principles
  • A high level of commitment to learning and performance
