Erasmus + Success Stories
Nikolao's impressions from Medical University Sofia
"IT EXPANDS YOUR SPIRITUAL HORIZONS AND COMPLETES YOU AS A CHARACTER AND PERSON”
Erasmus+ Period: 05/04/2017 – 14/02/2017
The Medical Faculty of the Heinrich-Heine-University evolved out of the former Academy of Applied Medicine, which was established in 1907. It soon achieved international recognition when leading practitioners pioneering integrated basic research and clinical practice. Today, the Faculty of Medicine comprises 31 institutes, 30 clinics, and two central facilities (an animal experiment facility and a biomedical research center). Moreover, the Faculty of Medicine fosters close cooperation with several associate institutes.
The Faculty of Medicine adheres to the integrated approach to teaching and research. Thus, medical students will be introduced to both applied clinical research and current issues of medical practice. Since 1991, the supplementary degree program in Health Sciences and Social Medicine has been complementing the faculty’s traditional course offerings. The faculty’s current and prospective fields of research in the Medical and Natural Science disciplines are: Hepatology, Cardiac and Vascular Diseases, Environmental Medicine, Gerontology, Neuro and Behavioral Sciences as well as Infection Biology.
It was an amazing experience everyone should try. It expands your spiritual horizons and completes you as a character, all the people you meet and the connections you make can last forever!
