CIY Abroad

You also have the opportunity to go abroad as part of your practical year. At HHU, you are free to choose which and how many tertials you spend abroad. With early and careful planning, all three tertials can be completed abroad. Splitting is also possible. This means that you can split all three tertials into two sections of eight weeks each - one half abroad and the other half in Germany (also outside HHU).

Please note: In the case of a split tertial, one of the two halves of the tertial must be completed in Germany! General medicine cannot be split. If you would (also) like to complete the elective abroad, you may only choose one of the electives offered at the UKD. If you choose an elective subject abroad that is not offered at the UKD, you will not be able to take the third section of your medical examination (M3) at HHU.
