What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001958) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 60 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.4★ — read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for Germany yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
  • A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics — slow down and verify independently.
  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

Three appointments in one day today: denture impression in the morning, canine extraction at lunch, and the fitted dentures will be returned in the evening. The tooth is out, and I was just able to eat the sandwich I brought with me in the cafeteria. So far, everything's been great.

Dagmar Fabry

Very good and quick processing. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I use a walker and therefore couldn't climb stairs. A solution was offered immediately, and a doctor came to see me on the ground floor. All due respect and a big thank …

My daughter had to pay €400 for an application to this strange, ideological university, including a detailed essay. The so-called university didn't respond at all, not even asking whether the application documents had even been received. …

Jonas Redecker

I find the freedom offered to tailor one's studies (e.g., Public Administration) to suit one's individual needs to be unique and highly valued. Furthermore, the university offers opportunities to contribute to its development and initiate …

Mr. Maps ADAMAS

I would like to take this opportunity to offer some suggestions on how Witten/Herdecke University could improve its structures and commitment in the areas of diversity, accessibility, and equal opportunities. This feedback is not intended …

I came to Witten to study for my PPÖ program at the University of Applied Sciences/University of Witten. The atmosphere among the students is incredibly pleasant, and the exchange between students from different programs is exciting. The …

Raghad Al Balkhi

Hello, I'd like to ask if you need a certain grade point average (GPA) for medical school? Or can I simply apply with my high school diploma and opt for deferred payment? Are there any rules or specific requirements that need to be met first?

Mike Karst

I was enrolled at three universities in total and have seen several more through my work. Although there are a few things I could criticize about UW/H, it's by far the best when it comes to the quality of teaching and learning processes, …

The Chair of Management and Innovation in Healthcare at the University of Witten/Herdecke, led by Prof. Dr. Sabine Bohnet-Joschko, combines economic expertise with practice-oriented healthcare research. Its core focus is on how knowledge …

Ingrid Bartnik

I went there for my COVID vaccination and was very surprised at how well everything was organized. There were some initial problems booking the appointment, but that wasn't the university's fault; it was the portal's. From reception to …

In the spring of 2025, I applied to the University of Witten/Herdecke for clinical medical studies. After years of practical experience in emergency medical services, having completed my first state examination (Physikum), significant …

Upon request, we were offered a guided tour. We received a very warm welcome. The participants at the 43rd Dispatchers' Meeting 2017 in Witten were offered an interesting tour of the UNI WH, with a wealth of information. It was very …

I made an appointment because I had a hole in my tooth...almost two months later, the day finally arrived. They checked my teeth, then told me I had periodontitis...all well and good so far! Then I was told I needed to replace three …

The selection process is unfortunately very subjective. The interview is more of a casual chat for the so-called "professors." The students' situation is grossly exploited; irrelevant, private, and intimate questions are asked. The …

Our 8-year-old son had knocked out half of his permanent front tooth in a fall.
We were able to get into the emergency room immediately on Saturday.
The dental assistants at the emergency room and at the chair were very kind and …

Paula Martha

I've never in my life experienced a university with so many contradictions within it that it's impossible to even create a coherent overall picture. The dean's office dreams life as beautiful and celebrates itself for it.

Yvonne

Very friendly, incredibly organized, absolutely competent, and excellent with children. Great opening hours. No long waiting times. Everything was truly very satisfactory... I'd gladly use them again if needed... ? …

Alois Schmidt

The construction site of the new building on the former parking lot is always very interesting. I'm curious to see what the large house, planned with sustainable timber construction, will look like upon completion.

Sir Travelton

One of the best universities in Germany. You can see that in the rankings every year. And as a bonus, it looks like a modern-day Hogwarts inside. As a double bonus, there's a Pokémon Go arena in the middle ? …

bvb ricken

Very nice teachers ??? I found sushi in the bathroom, it tasted a bit strange ?. It would be cool if everyone could come to school shirtless since I identify as a ?Chickenwing. I would appreciate a response. …

Ssss

You pay around €400 to be treated with racism during your application. As a foreigner, you're supposedly better suited to nursing. Absolutely disgusting attitudes from the professors!!

Ali Mokhtari

You don't realize you're at a university. Why? Everything seems a bit more relaxed, friendly, and familiar.
No wonder, because it's a small university, everything is manageable! …

Anja Fieberg

I received quick, professional, and empathetic help today. I will gladly continue my treatment there as a patient with anxiety disorders. It was a very positive experience.

Julius Pei

Excellent professors, friendly students, and a family-like atmosphere make this course of study highly recommendable and different from the typical university experience.

Eo

Favorite university – I would never want to study anywhere else. The organization is sometimes unstructured, but it's so much more humane than at other universities.

Doris Dudek

A huge thank you to all the staff; I've never been treated so kindly and with such professional competence. From security to the professor, it was simply top-notch.

Thomas Hill

I think the university is trying to enrich itself through the application fees for medical programs. Collecting €250 for a simple rejection via email isn't right.

Merlin Berger

My reviews are regularly deleted. Someone clearly doesn't want me to tell the truth. No wonder there are so few bad reviews. They're probably all being deleted.

Diana Radojcic

Very satisfied, I searched for a dentist for my son for a long time, and he's been going there for three years now, and I can highly recommend him ?? …

Bébé mouton rose

The school looks better than the one I go to, which looks like a hotel, and mine looks like a prison. The pictures were even enough to impress me.

Yasser Ourfali

Unfortunately, I have to say that the University of Witten/Herdecke is exploiting the strong motivation of young people for financial gain. …

Jenny Schulte

Unfortunately, I can't agree with the other reviews.
I was teased several times (including by doctors) because of my protruding ears. …

Denise

Still very friendly, polite and competent, at least I can speak very well about the student courses, I like going there?? …

Mel P.

Very friendly staff and the doctors are really nice and especially with children who are definitely not afraid there ?? …

Ralf Lüno

As one of the first patients, there's a good reason I'm still here. Top doctors and excellent service.

One of the best universities in the field of natural sciences and medicine with practical application
