In the USA, the Netherlands and other European countries, the profession of physician assistant and the associated studies have been established for several decades. The field of activity of the medical assistant is becoming increasingly relevant, in particular due to demographic developments, changing disease patterns and the shortage of specialists. In Germany, this academic occupational profile in the healthcare sector is still relatively new and is developing dynamically - you can help shape it and, thanks to your practice-oriented studies, become actively involved in the treatment of your future patients.
Your academic training as a physician assistant will qualify you as an important link between all professional groups involved in patient care on the one hand and physicians on the other. With your studies, you will be able to perform delegable activities, which were previously reserved for physicians, independently according to orders. Of course, this requires extensive knowledge, which we will impart to you throughout your studies in a scientific and well-founded manner. This will enable you to support medical teams in their work in the future and at the same time relieve them. At the same time, this should counteract a fragmentation of care and questionable effects on patient safety and quality of care. We will prepare you to work with complex documentation and management processes as well as organizational procedures, or even to help develop and refine them yourself on behalf of the medical management. Due to your academically acquired competencies as a Physician Assistant, you are an important member of an interprofessional team.
The Physician Assistant program is characterized by an exceptionally high proportion of practical training at a total of three learning sites. This gives you the opportunity to get to know different inpatient and outpatient wards at practice partners as well as academic training centers. In addition, the fifth semester offers you the opportunity to select a practical module yourself or to spend time abroad and thus get to know foreign locations.
Overall, the focus of your studies is based on the consensus paper of the German Medical Association and the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians. In addition to profession-specific knowledge of medicine, we will also provide you with extended specialist knowledge of process and quality management. This will enable you to develop into an important worker who can be deployed in both inpatient and outpatient care.
You will later apply this extensive knowledge in numerous professional fields in the healthcare industry, because all this forms the basis for a responsible and successful job as a medical assistant in practices, care centers or regions with a low density of care.
After completing your bachelor's degree, a wide variety of career paths are open to you. On the orders of the doctors, you will take on both organizational and patient-related activities and deal with administrative and documentation tasks. This means that your day-to-day professional life will include a wide range of possible assignments in a wide variety of areas.
For further professional development and career advancement, our health college offers advanced master's degree programs after you earn your bachelor's degree in Physician Assistant. This opens up the opportunity for you to pursue a doctorate, allowing you to embark on the path of an academic career. The master's program in health and social management is the perfect way to build on your knowledge.
You study with us in a full-time study model, but in a block structure typical for our university. This means that you complete a five-day attendance phase per month at the university. The remaining time is available for the practical transfer at your employer or practice partner as well as for your self-study. This means that your studies can be ideally combined with your professional activities and your private requirements. In addition to these phases, you also have enough time for self-study phases to consolidate your newly acquired knowledge.
Our goal with this innovative, practice-integrated study model is to enable you to combine your studies, professional activities and family very well despite full-time study.

As a state-recognized, private university, the SRH Hochschule für Gesundheit is financed by tuition fees. These revenues are used for the equipment of our campus, the service for our students and the quality assurance. In this way, we ensure that you receive the best possible education under optimal study conditions.
Tuition fees
The monthly fee remains the same throughout the entire period of study. The one-time enrollment fee is €450.00 and is due 4 weeks before the start of your studies. Except for the placement, aptitude or equivalency exam, if applicable, no separate exam fees or similar are charged, not even for repeat exams. This gives you maximum cost transparency during your studies. If you extend your studies beyond the standard period of study, fees will also be charged, since the university's offer will continue to be used. If only the final thesis of the course is still outstanding, the fees are reduced by 50%.
In addition to efficient organization, a goal-oriented course of study also requires a solid financial basis in order to be able to pay rent, living expenses and tuition fees. There are various financing options, such as educational loans or scholarship programs.
We have compiled a list of all financing options for you here.
