During the studies
During the first four semesters, students of the new and existing FAU medical degree programs are trained together at the Erlangen site. Only the internships for career exploration in the second semester and the introduction to clinical medicine in the fourth semester are carried out separately for both study programs. Detailed information on the study structure and courses in the first four semesters can be found on the pages for the Medicine program.
Training in the second semester of the Erlangen/Bayreuth Medicine program takes place at the Upper Franconia Medical Campus in cooperation with the Bayreuth Clinic. Only events requiring patients, subject-specific infrastructure or teaching staff that are not (yet) available at the Medical Campus Upper Franconia are held at the Erlangen site. The events in Erlangen will be bundled in the fifth and, if necessary, sixth semester. Corresponding schedules for the clinical semesters are currently being developed and will be published on the homepage of the Medical Faculty well in advance of the start of the second study period.

The objectives, contents and course of the study programs Medicine and Medicine Erlangen/Bayreuth are both regulated in a joint study and examination regulation. You can find them here.
