Institutes regularly evaluate German universities. These institutes includes CHE Ranking, which enjoys a high status due to a large number of data collections and a proven methodology. All German universities are evaluated according to various subjects and very different criteria.
We have listed the 20 best universities for studying medicine in Germany for you based on the overall quality of teaching and learning rating according to the CHE Ranking 2020/2021. Question about the overall quality of teaching and learning is a single question that medical students answer for the survey, not an index of various individual questions. However, this overarching assessment gives you a first opportunity to create your own ranking list.
How does the CHE Ranking measure?
In general, the CHE Ranking collects many different indicators that can be used for a ranking. These indicators include support from teachers, support in patient teaching, internships, courses offered, introductory phase of studies, study organization, integration of pre-clinical and clinical studies, and scientific relevance in the area of teaching. In addition, the university’s facilities, the study results of various sections and the international orientation are also taken into account.
