Studying & Teaching at Heidelberg Medical Faculty

Welcome to the Faculty of Medicine! We can look back on a long scientific tradition and are proud of the fact that we never stand still, but keep evolving constantly. This enables us to provide excellent teaching and research.

Studying at the Faculty of Medicine

Studying in Heidelberg goes along with high quality standards in teaching and research in modern, well-equipped rooms on the Neuenheimer Feld campus and also learning and living in a historic city centre. The teaching concepts heiCuMed (human medicine) and heiCuDent (dentistry) combine practical and research-orientated learning, supplemented by modern and innovative teaching methods.

Teaching in Heidelberg

We emphasise good teaching - right from the start. New teaching staff receive an introduction to our teaching concepts and comprehensive lecturer training. They have access to a wide range of further training programmes that enable continuous development of their teaching skills. We also promote innovative teaching projects by providing didactic advice and technical equipment. Regular teaching evaluation supports and accompanies the quality assurance of teaching at our faculty.

Doing a doctorate in Heidelberg

Just like a degree programme, a doctoral project must be well thought out and well planned. The MEDISS doctoral programme therefore supports and encourages our doctoral students right from the start. In particular, the methods of scientific work are trained and deepened in the courses. If you have any questions about organising your doctoral project or need advice, please contact the doctoral office.

Doctoral programme MEDISS

The MEDISS programme serves to promote the scientific methodological skills of our students and doctoral candidates. Scientific work and research are highly valued at Heidelberg Medical Faculty. Independent scientific work should therefore be promoted with the help of such an formative programme.
