Informationen:

The Faculty of Medicine is one of the four founding faculties that established the university in 1558.  The first rector of the "Alma Mater Jenensis", Johannes Schröter, was also a physician.  In former centuries the faculty produced many important physicians and was a pioneer in natural science-oriented medicine.  A revolutionary discovery in the 20th century produced independent disciplines:  Hans Berger, who discovered human brain waves, worked at the university.

The Faculty of Medicine is the only university medical institution in Thuringia.  It offers a curriculum that corresponds with those at universities in the former West German states.  The manageable size of students guarantees an intensive education and excellent working conditions in internships and clinicals.
