About Medicine, Bachelor Degree - at University of Groningen

Would you like to help patients and treat diseases? Perhaps as a doctor or a medical researcher? In this Bachelor's degree programme you prepare yourself to do just that.

In this bachelor's degree programme, you prepare yourself for a career in medicine. Because the development of a medical professional takes a lot of time and attention and since we aim to prepare our students optimally, a limited number of study places are available. Therefore, the medical degree programme in Groningen has 400 places available each year. You can be admitted to this programme by participating in a selection procedure. The programme is provided in one language(!); Dutch. The three-year medical bachelor's degree programme in Groningen is patient-centred: you will be introduced to patients right from the start of the first year. You will learn about all medical disciplines based on those patients' cases. You will carry out study assignments independently or in small groups. During a two-week care internship, you will experience the daily routines in a department in a hospital or a nursing home.

Please note: In order to be eligible for the Master's programme as a non-Dutch student you need to meet the language requirement: C1 Dutch. Learn more about the medical curriculum through this brochure.
