Medical Faculty
Shaping the Future of Medicine – Together
As one of the youngest medical faculties in Germany, we combine excellent teaching, innovative research, and modern patient care within a close, interdisciplinary structure. Our administration supports efficient processes that enable seamless integration of research, teaching, and clinical practice.
At our university hospitals, academic teaching hospitals, and institutes from Bochum to East Westphalia-Lippe, scientific insights are directly incorporated into education and patient care. Our academic procedures – from doctoral theses and habilitations to appointments – ensure the highest scientific standards.
Central facilities such as the university library, the workshop, and the Medical Research Services provide the necessary infrastructure, while the student body represents the interests of students and is actively involved in important committees within the faculty and university.
This close integration of administration, research, teaching, clinical care, and external partners creates a strong foundation for excellent education, innovative research, and top-quality patient care.
