HMU Health and Medical University

The HMU Health and Medical University Potsdam is a private, state-recognized university based in Potsdam and with a campus in Villa Carlshagen and Schiffbauergasse. The HMU started teaching in the winter semester of 2020/21. Teaching at the HMU takes place in two faculties: At the Faculty of Medicine, students can complete the human medicine degree program. In addition to the university degree programs in Psychology (B.Sc.), Psychotherapy (M.Sc.) and Medical Education (M.Ed.), the Faculty of Health also offers application-oriented university of applied sciences degree programs such as Medical Controlling and Management (B.Sc.) and Medical Education (BA). These university of applied sciences degree programs enable students to receive training with a strong application-oriented focus on professional activities with a social and health science background. HMU students can therefore choose between a university of applied sciences and a university degree program and plan and shape their careers according to their strengths and talents. The challenges in the healthcare sector require an interdisciplinary approach from the actors involved and a willingness to work closely together between the various professional groups. The profile of the HMU is therefore characterized by a consistently interdisciplinary and interprofessional approach to teaching, research and academic training.
