Incomings without Exchange Programmes
Students enrolled in a university outside Germany who would like to come to us outside our exchange programmes (Erasmus+ and bilateral exchange) are welcome to self-organise an internship placement at our University Hospital Düsseldorf (UKD).
A clinical internship can be a “Famulatur” (for 3rd-6th year students), and a “Hospitation” (for graduates). To organise a clinical internship please contact the clinic of your preference at the UKD directly to find out whether an internship placement is available and how to apply. You can find an overview of the clinics of the UKD here.
Usually, you will need to submit a CV, a letter of motivation, a letter of recommendation, a certificate of enrolment, a complete Immunization Record as well as a German language certificate (recommended level: B2). A template for the Immunization Record is available in the download box in the right-hand panel of this page. Please turn to the chosen clinic to find out whether an English language certificate might be accepted instead and whether further documents are required. Please note that trainees will not be registered as a student at our university.
