Frequently asked Questions

Who can get advice from MedMaster Assist Gmbh?

All doctors, dentists, nurses, and others, who would like to emigrate to Germany. We analyze each case to offer you the ideal personalized advice for your life project.

What level of German do I need as a doctor/dentist to get into a medical residency?  


Med&Master Assist recommends taking German courses up to level C1 and attending a German course for doctors and/or dentists. Even though the medical association still accepts the B2 certificate, the professional language exam (FSP) that has to be taken at the medical association is equivalent to a C1 level.

How do I pay for the services of MedMaster Assist Gmbh?

Our services are paid directly via bank transfer or PayPal.  For more information, please contact us.

I know that there are companies that have alliances with hospitals to bring doctors. Does MedMaster have them?

Our specialty is to accompany doctors, not hospitals, so we will send your application for the purpose of job placement in different hospitals so you can choose the best option.

Can I take the medical knowledge test (KP) from my home country or outside Germany?

No, generlally it must be done in person at the selected Medical College in Germany.

Can I take the Medical Knowledge Examination (KP) in any city in Germany?

The exam is taken at the location where the admission procedure was initiated.

Depending on the location in Germany, it may be easier or more difficult to pass the knowledge exam?

That is correct, since each city/state has a different Medical College, each city/state has a different knowledge exam, so the complexity can vary from state to state.

If I want to take the exam in Hannover, but then work as a doctor in Berlin, can I do that, i.e. can I work anywhere in Germany after my degree gets approved ?

That's right. Once you have been approved for your degree, all you have to do is register with the respective Medical College.

What exams do I need to pass to get my degree approved?

You need to pass two exams: the German technical knowledge test (FSP) and medical knowledge test (KP). Unless you are a person from the European Economic Community and have a degree, you only need the FSP exam.


What possibilities do I have to homologate my degree apart from the medical knowledge exam?


In this case, you would have two possibilities: 1. by comparing the academic curriculum and 2. By taking the medical knowledge exam.

If the university from which you come from has an academic curriculum that meets the requirements of Germany, you may not have to do the medical knowledge exam.
