A hundred additional medical students are starting their studies at the University of Bern's Faculty of Medicine in the new semester. The University of Bern is also driving its international networking, public private partnerships, digitalization and various construction projects forward in the new academic year. The University of Bern's Faculty of Medicine has increased its capacity by 100 university places to contribute to tackling the shortage of doctors. The 100 additional medical students can now start their studies on 14 September 2018. "We are strengthening Bern as a medical center with this expansion," says Rector Christian Leumann. The University of Bern is also catering to a national need in pharmacy: a full-time studies course in pharmacy is being developed to counteract the shortage of pharmacists from the 2019 fall semester. The Faculty of Medicine is now also the largest faculty at the University of Bern with its roughly 3,000 students.
