The number of credits per course is determined in regard to the established goals a student has to fulfill in order to achieve them as well as the study outcome. Activities relevant for achieving the goals and study outcomes are defined for each course, as well as the time needed, so that the total student workload corresponds with the number of credit points defined for the course. Students get ECTS credits after passing exams.

After the 3rd, 4th and 5th years of study, students are required to participate in practice at teaching hospitals from clinical courses (Internal Medicine, Infectious Diseases, Neurology, Dermatovenerology, Surgery, Pediatrics, Gynecology and Obstetrics, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Emergency Medicine, Oncology, and Paediatrics).
