Procedure details

With the quota for the public health service (ÖGD quota), up to 1.8% of all medical study places available at Bavarian faculties are awarded each year to applicants who demonstrate a particular interest in working in the public health service.

Different criteria apply for admission via the ÖGD quota than for the central admission procedure for studying human medicine via the Foundation for University Admissions. Admission to study is only granted at universities in Bavaria. When allocating study places, the universities of your choice will be considered in the order in which you entered them in your application. The allocation of available study places is based on your place in the final ranking list. The higher up you are in the ranking list, the more likely you are to be allocated to the university of your choice.

You can study at all five Bavarian universities that offer human medicine courses. These are:

  • University of Augsburg,
  • Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg,
  • University of Regensburg and the University of Regensburg/Lower Bavaria Medical Campus,
