The expansion of the Faculty of Medicine continues

Following the successful opening of the state-of-the-art new teaching building, many members of the Faculty of Medicine are now studying and working there. In the winter semester, 168 new first-semester students will begin their studies in human medicine. Sixty-nine of 101 professorships have already been appointed, and with the founding of the Institute for Theoretical Medicine in January 2025, the Faculty of Medicine has reached another important milestone. In November of this year, the first cohort of students, namely, the very first medical students to study in Augsburg, who started in 2019, will take their final exams. After passing the third state examination, the graduates can start their professional lives as doctors.

Modernisation thanks to the Hightech Agenda

Thirty of the 33 professorships funded by the Bavarian High-Tech Agenda (HTA) have now been filled. The new modular building was also opened in spring. The building will serve to expand the life sciences at the University of Augsburg and strengthen cooperation between the Institute of Physics and the Faculty of Medicine.
