Upcoming free appointments:
Participating at one of our MSA Academy preparation courses, you are excellently prepared for your future medical studies. You will build on your previous school knowledge and acquire medical expertise at an early stage. The scientific know-how you gain during the courses will give you a head start in your future studies.
All our courses are held in English – the global language of science. This enables our students to learn the necessary specialist terminology well in advance.
Familiarize yourself with theory and practice as well as your future destination Hamburg, while getting to know your future fellow students in the meantime.

Pre-Medical Course
Our Pre-Medical Course is a 3-week program that spans the subjects of biology, chemistry and physics. It serves to strengthen and enhance your pre-existing knowledge and to gain new skills in these areas. During the course you will receive a considerable amount of scientific information – a prerequisite for studying medicine – within a limited amount of time.
College Semester
Our 12-week college semester covers not only the natural sciences of biology, chemistry and physics, but also mathematics, biochemistry, anatomy and medical theory. Thus, the comprehensive semester also includes topics that are not usually dealt with at school. This gives you a considerable advantage in knowledge, which makes it much easier for you to start your medical studies.
