The University of Leipzig is offering an adaptation course for professional recognition targeting midwives from third countries, starting 1 April 2025. This course will enable you to fulfil the requirements of your official assessment. Once you have completed the required theoretical and practical components, you will be able to apply for a licence to carry the professional title of "midwife" in Germany.
The full-time course lasts a minimum of 12 months and a maximum of 18 months. After admission to the course, you will receive a personalised timetable. In accordance with section 53, subsection 1 HebStPrV, the course concludes with an examination in the form of a personal interview.
The start of the application process will be announced on this website shortly. You will then also find more detailed information about the course. Thank you for your patience.
Are you a midwife from a third country who would like to attend the adaptation course?
Do not hesitate to contact us – we will discuss all further details with you. For the practical part of the adaptation course, you will need an employment contract with a maternity clinic in Saxony.
If you do not yet have an employment contract with a maternity clinic, please contact us. We can support you in your search for a maternity clinic.
