Core offering

Medischulen operates a network of state-recognized vocational schools (Berufsfachschulen) across 50+ German locations, delivering practical and theoretical training in 11 therapeutic-medical and social disciplines including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, podiatry, pharmaceutical-technical assistance, and special needs care. Programs lead to recognized professional qualifications and combine classroom instruction with hands-on clinical practice at on-site therapy practices and partner hospitals (notably a 35-year partnership with Asklepios Weserbergland-Klinik). Many programs are tuition-free due to subsidies from the state governments of Baden-Württemberg and North Rhine-Westphalia, and select locations offer cooperative bachelor's degree pathways with FHM university.
