The University Medical Center Göttingen – what makes us unique

The University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) is made up of the Medical Faculty with research and teaching and the University Hospital with patient care. The combination of these three areas under one roof is unique in southern Lower Saxony and entails numerous positive interactions, such as the swift transfer of innovative therapy options into patient care and education. In addition, we have defined the topic of transfer as a new focus in our Strategy 2032. This fourth pillar of the UMG is also a core task of university medicine. We are pleased to introduce the four areas to you in the following.
