Novel EU study system EDU for human medicine approved

Valletta (ots) -

Intensive practical training in high-end hospitals located in
students home region accompanied by state-of-the-art online
learning - admissions open for students in Germany today

"The innovative EDU study model provides the best possible
education in clinical medicine to young people with an intrinsic
passion for becoming a physician. EDU is thus committed to help shape
a fairer and more sustainable global healthcare system." (Prof. Dr.
med. Andreas Hoeft, European Society of Anesthesiology, Member of the
Board of Directors and Chairman of Scientific Committee)

During a ceremony hosted by Mr. Evarist Bartolo, Minister for
Education and Labor of the Republic of Malta, Digital Educations
Holdings Ltd. has been licensed by the Maltese authorities as an
'Institution of Higher Education'. In parallel, DEH's 'Bachelor of
Medicine' was accredited by the National Commission for Further and
Higher Education within the European Qualifications Framework. For
the medical degree programme beginning in November 2018, applications
are now open at EDU, DEH's academic platform.

EDU combines hands-on practical training with digitally supported
instruction formats in a student-centric approach to adaptive
learning. The medical degree program consists of a three-year
Bachelor that will be followed by a consecutive two-year master's
degree in human medicine. Comprising a total of at least 5,500 hours
of combined theoretical education and practical clinical training,
its certification of at least 300 ECTS fully complies with the
relevant European requirements.

The theoretical subjects are covered by high-quality digital
content available to students in a virtual learning environment,
where teams solve tasks of increasing complexity and receive
individual feedback from dedicated tutors. These theoretical
foundations are immediately linked to medical practice during the
clinical training that students attend in small groups at
high-quality teaching hospitals. Clinical partner at launch of the
'Bachelor of Medicine' are Helios Kliniken GmbH, one of the largest
providers of inpatient and outpatient care in Europe. Currently,
EDU's teaching hospitals are located in Germany, among others in
Berlin, Erfurt, Krefeld, Oberhausen and Wiesbaden. Hospitals in other
EU and African countries will follow soon.

With today's launch, the Republic of Malta is spearheading the
implementation of the European Union's 'Digital Education Action
Plan'. It also contributes to expansion and transformation of the
global health workforce, as set out in the WHO Global Strategy on
Human Resources for Health and the Health. Minister Bartolo
underlined: "Digital learning makes an important contribution to the
broadening of medical education and training. Combining online
instruction in diverse teams with the clinical training at the
patient's bedside in high-quality regional hospitals holds great
promise for many regions that currently lack sufficient numbers of
qualified medical personnel."

Dr. Miriam Dalli, Member of the European Parliament, has been
instrumental for establishing EDU. She will further accompany the
project as Honorary Chair of the EDU Advisory Council.

Visit www.medical.edu.eu for more information about degree
programmes offered by EDU. Prospective students will find
comprehensive information on content and structure of the "Bachelor
of Medicine" and may submit an online application starting today.
