Flourish and Grow at MSB Medical School Berlin
MSB Medical School Berlin is a private, state-recognized university located in Berlin-Wilmersdorf. The philosophy of MSB is based on the growing demand for qualified professionals in the healthcare market and the need for practice-oriented academic training. We offer highly innovative and market-driven degree programs with a focus on health and medicine, enabling students to meet the challenges of future interdisciplinary healthcare. In our degree programs, in addition to teaching fundamental competencies, interdisciplinary and especially subject-specific professional skills are emphasized.
Teaching at MSB takes place in three faculties. Students can pursue either application-oriented bachelor's and master's programs leading to a university of applied sciences degree (Faculty of Health Sciences) or academic programs leading to a university degree (Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Natural Sciences). In 2020, MSB received official recognition from the Berlin Senate Chancellery – Science and Research to offer medical training at a university level. Since then, the MSB has offered the state examination program in Human Medicine at the Faculty of Medicine in cooperation with Helios Klinikum Berlin-Buch. The program meets all quality standards for medical education in Germany, concludes with the state examination, and entitles graduates to obtain a medical license (Approbation).
With the implementation of the new Psychotherapists Act on 01.09.2020, psychotherapists can now be trained through a direct degree program followed by further specialization. MSB supports this new path and offers all necessary steps under one roof, up to the start of a professional career. Students who began their bachelor's studies before this date can still complete their training as psychological psychotherapists under the old model during the 12-year transitional period. The IPB Institute for Integrative Psychotherapy Training Berlin, as a state-recognized training institute within MSB, offers training to become a licensed psychological psychotherapist as well as a child and adolescent psychotherapist.
Personal Support
To best support your potential, MSB promotes small study groups, lives the principle of "open doors," and thereby creates space for engagement, ideas, and growth to ensure university life remains innovative and exciting. MSB fosters a very personal atmosphere. Professors and students know each other, and faculty and university management are always approachable. There are no fixed office hours. Every email is answered, and there is always time for a conversation. Our Career Center and International Office are available to provide advice and support as you prepare for a career in the healthcare sector.
Research and Teaching – Theory and Practice in Synergy
Being professionally competent and using expertise responsibly are essential qualities for future professionals in the healthcare sector. At MSB, highly qualified academic teaching staff collaborate with experienced partners from practical fields. This prepares you optimally for your future societal responsibilities. In line with the concept of research-based learning, you will participate in the university's scientific activities and, during your work-oriented studies, become familiar with relevant healthcare practice fields through MSB’s cooperation partners. Teachers and students are in continuous dialogue and mutually supportive interaction.
Broadening Horizons Beyond Your Own Field
Studying at MSB also takes you beyond the classroom. Through excursions, internships, and interdisciplinary projects, you will gain and appreciate new perspectives. Throughout your studies, you will regularly collaborate with fellow students and lecturers from other disciplines in joint projects and courses. In all degree programs, students also acquire important social, communication, and reflective skills that are essential for success in healthcare and for shaping their professional environment in interdisciplinary teams.
Room for Growth and Development of Potential
Studies at MSB are not subject to numerus clausus (NC). At MSB, motivation and talent are more important than grade point average. In an individual admission interview, you have the opportunity to demonstrate your commitment and social skills to MSB.
