Medical studies in Split, Croatia and Coburg, Germany

The School of Medicine at the University of Split (USSM) was originally founded in 1974 as part of the University of Zagreb. Initially, medical students could complete the last two years of training in Split. Over the years, the School of Medicine was able to establish itself as an independent faculty and was affiliated to the University of Split in 1997. While initially only human medicine studies in Croatian were possible, another study programme, completely in English, was founded in 2011: Medical Studies in English.

The USSM was able to repeat this success story internationally once again when a cooperation with a German hospital association in Upper Franconia and Southern Thuringia was launched in 2016. In the partner programme, students of the Medical Studies in English programme complete the first three pre-clinical years at USSM. From the 4th year onwards, the cohort is divided into students who remain in Split and students who move to Germany to join the German Hospital Association in Upper Franconia and Southern Thuringia. The courses and content remain the same in both groups, but the students of the hospital network are largely trained by doctors in the surrounding area and spend their practical placements in the clinics and doctors' practices there.
