Medicine and dentistry students from abroad have the opportunity to study at Med Uni Graz for one or two semesters as part of Erasmus+, SEMP, Joint Study and CEEPUS mobility programs. The prerequisite is that their home institution is an Erasmus+, SEMP, or Joint Study partner institution of Med Uni Graz or that the home institution is located in a country that participates in the CEEPUS mobility program.
Graz is one of the best experiences I have ever had. The city is perfect for students, small enough that you can bike everywhere within ten minutes and big enough that there is always something going on. It is very nice and thanks to the module system, you come into contact with a lot of students.
