Important Information for the Start of Studies in Winter Semester 2025\/26 for Medical Students at RWTH Aachen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Freshers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, on behalf of the administration of the model medical curriculum and the entire Medical Student Council, we would like to warmly congratulate you on receiving your place to study at RWTH Aachen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are already looking forward to welcoming you personally to the University Hospital Aachen very soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that starting university comes with many questions and perhaps some uncertainties for most of you. You will soon see that many people here are dedicated to making sure you feel comfortable, stay informed about everything important, and do not miss any important dates. But before all of that, your studies first have to begin \u2014 so here you will find all the essential information for getting started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When researching the beginning of the semester in Aachen, you may come across terms such as \u201cstart of the semester,\u201d \u201cstart of lectures,\u201d \u201cRWTH-wide orientation weeks,\u201d or \u201cESA Team.\u201d However, these mainly apply to the university\u2019s bachelor\u2019s degree programs and are therefore not relevant for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For medical students at RWTH Aachen, the program begins on October 13, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. in Lecture Hall 3 of the University Hospital with the start of the orientation weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dieser Start-Termin spielt auch deshalb eine Rolle, weil Studierende der Medizin im Rahmen ihres Studiums 90 Tage Krankenpflegepraktikum ableisten m\u00fcssen und dieses auch schon vor dem Start des Studiums beginnen d\u00fcrfen. Das Pflegepraktikum darf generell nur in der vorlesungsfreien Zeit abgeleistet werden. Das bedeutet, dass ihr in dem Zeitraum ab dem Ausstellungsdatum eures Abiturzeugnisses bis einschlie\u00dflich zum 12.10.2025 in der Pflege arbeiten d\u00fcrft. Das empfiehlt sich auch, da in der vorlesungsfreien Zeit nach dem ersten Semester Pflichtpraktika in Chemie und Biologie stattfinden werden und zu dieser Zeit nicht in jedem Fall Pflegepraktika absolviert werden k\u00f6nnen.
Ausf\u00fchrliche Informationen zum Thema Krankenpflegepraktikum sowie ein Merkblatt zum Krankenpflegepraktikum und einen Vordruck zum Bescheinigen des Pflegepraktikums findet ihr unter folgendem Link (auf der Website im unteren Teil, unter Downloads):

In summary: you may continue completing shifts for your nursing internship up to and including October 12, 2025, and we look forward to welcoming you to the hospital on October 13, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday and Wednesday, we will explain many important aspects of the first semester during the orientation days. Some students will already have their first classes on Wednesday afternoon, October 15, 2025. The introductory block officially begins for everyone on Thursday, October 16, 2025, and
the city rally will take place on Friday afternoon, October 17, 2025. Information about rally registration will be provided during your first week.
During the semester, there may occasionally also be online classes. Therefore, you should make sure you have suitable IT equipment (e.g. a laptop with microphone and camera, a mobile phone) as well as internet access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For further information about the program, it may be worth taking a look at the faculty website (https:\/\/www.medizin.rwth-aachen.de\/cms\/~iiq\/Medizin\/<\/a>) or the website of the Medical Student Council (www.fsmed-aachen.de<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the Medical Student Council side, we will also support you in the WhatsApp group (see the document \u201cMy First Week\u201d) if you need any information.
\nFurther information about the model medical curriculum will be provided by us during the first few days. You will also receive your individual timetable, which lists all courses and events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until then, we wish you a wonderful time and look forward to meeting you soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kind regards from Aachen,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
