The University of Basel teaches human medicine as a three-year Bachelor of Medicine followed by a three-year Master of Medicine; the master's diploma qualifies graduates to sit the Swiss federal examination in human medicine. Bachelor teaching is mostly in German. Access is restricted for foreign nationals to specific residence categories, and pre-registration and the aptitude test run through swissuniversities.
