Student life
Living in Berlin as a medical student
Medical School Berlin runs an 'NC-frei' admissions policy: there's no fixed grade cut-off for entry, unlike Germany's public-university system. Its Human Medicine programme is a German-taught Staatsexamen degree, and the written selection test is sat in German too, even though the school appears in English-language listings internationally.
