Germany · Undergraduate / school-leaver entry. Single long programme: ~6 years 3 months = 2 years preclinical + 3 years clinical + 1 Praktisches Jahr (final practical year). It is NOT a separate MBBS or US-style MD; the qualification is the medical Staatsexamen leading to Approbation (licence). A research doctorate (Dr. med.) is a separate optional thesis, not the practising qualification. · ヨーロッパ（英語課程の医学部）
ドイツの医師養成は、公立大学で行う約6年3か月の一貫課程（高卒入学型・大学院型ではない）で、国家試験（Staatsexamen）合格により医師免許（Approbation）を得ます。授業は基本的にすべてドイツ語。多くの非EU資格保持者は直接入学できず、まず Studienkolleg（医学系M-Kurs・約1年）を修了して Feststellungsprüfung（FSP）に合格し、その上で大学ごとに約5%しかない非EU枠を激しく争います。学費は大半の州で無償〜ほぼ無償（バーデン＝ヴュルテンベルク州のみ非EU生に1学期約1,500ユーロ。ハイデルベルク大学公式ページで確認）。最大の壁は学費ではなく、(1)ドイツ語C1〜医療C1、(2)numerus clausus（成績序列）とTMS（適性試験）による厳しい選抜、(3)極小の非EU枠。英語で学べるルートではない点が決定的です。
Germany trains physicians via a single, long undergraduate (school-leaver entry) Staatsexamen programme of ~6 years 3 months, taught in GERMAN, at public universities. For most non-EU/non-German qualifications, students cannot enter directly: they must first complete a Studienkolleg (M-Kurs, ~1 year) and pass the Feststellungsprüfung (FSP), then compete for one of the very few non-EU places. Tuition is free or near-free in most states (only Baden-Württemberg charges non-EU fees of ~EUR 1,500/semester, confirmed on Heidelberg University's own page). The binding constraint is NOT money but (a) German at C1/C1-Medizin level, (b) the numerus clausus / TMS-based admission competition, and (c) the tiny non-EU quota. This is decisively a GERMAN-language route, not an English one.

Most German states: NO tuition fee — only a semester contribution (Semesterbeitrag) of roughly EUR 100–350/semester (~JPY 17,000–60,000), i.e. essentially free over 6 years. EXCEPTION — Baden-Württemberg: non-EU/EEA students pay EUR 1,500/semester tuition (confirmed on Heidelberg University's own official page) PLUS the semester contribution (~EUR 200–500). That is ~EUR 3,000/year tuition (~JPY 480,000/year); over a ~6.25-year medical course roughly EUR ~18,000–19,000 total tuition (~JPY ~3 million) — this total is an APPROXIMATE extrapolation from the confirmed EUR 1,500/semester, not a separately published figure; excludes living costs. Living costs nationwide are the real expense: ~EUR 11,900/year blocked-account requirement (~JPY ~1.9M/year). Per-university medicine specifics — verify on each school's page.

公式German public medical degrees are well recognised internationally. German medical schools are listed in the WDOMS World Directory of Medical Schools, and German programmes' accreditation is recognised under the WFME framework, which underpins ECFMG eligibility. NOTE (corrected): ECFMG eligibility is per-SCHOOL, not automatic per-country — it requires the graduate's school to be listed in WDOMS AND to carry an ECFMG Sponsor Note, and since 2024 the school must be accredited by a WFME-recognised agency. So a German graduate is generally on the WFME-route, but confirm the specific school's status at wdoms.org before relying on US ECFMG/USMLE eligibility. The Approbation is the EU-level licence, recognised across the EU/EEA. For UK GMC and Australian AMC, German graduates are eligible to apply via the standard IMG processes (registration assessments/exams) — exact current GMC/AMC acceptance details unverified（要確認）.
Reported/likely (not confirmed by a primary licensing-authority source within budget): Non-citizen graduates of a German medical course complete the Praktisches Jahr (final clinical year) as part of the degree and, on passing the Staatsexamen, can obtain the Approbation (full licence to practise independently in Germany) — nationality is reported not to be a bar to the licence itself, and a German Staatsexamen graduate does not face the Kenntnisprüfung (which applies to foreign-TRAINED doctors). This is plausible and uncontradicted but should be confirmed with the Bundesärztekammer/Landesärztekammer before relying on it. Working long-term still requires an appropriate residence/work permit. Medical German (C1-Medizin) is essential for clinical practice.
日本で医師になるには / Route back to Japan
A German medical graduate is a foreign-trained doctor for Japan and must obtain MHLW (厚生労働省) \"受験資格認定\" before sitting the 医師国家試験. After document screening, MHLW typically routes the applicant either to (a) a Japanese-language clinical competency assessment or (b) the 予備試験 (preliminary exam: written + practical, covering anatomy/physiology/internal medicine/surgery etc.), and after the 予備試験 at least ~1 year of clinical training in Japan is required before becoming eligible for the 医師国家試験. Recognition is decided case-by-case per applicant, not blanket per school. The route is genuinely demanding and adds years; Japanese-language clinical ability is essential.
医師免許の国際コンバート完全ガイド日本人の現実性：難あり
Tuition is cheap/free, the degree is globally well-regarded (WDOMS/WFME), and non-citizens can reportedly obtain the German licence. But for a typical Japanese family this is a hard route: (1) it is German-medium — students need C1 then medical German, not English; (2) a Japanese high-school diploma usually needs a Studienkolleg + Feststellungsprüfung first (confirmed structure; verify the diploma on anabin), and even IB/A-Level need the right subjects + near-top grades; (3) the non-EU quota is tiny (~5%) and the numerus clausus/TMS competition is brutal; (4) returning to practise in Japan still requires MHLW certification + likely the 予備試験 + extra clinical year. Viable only for a highly motivated student willing to invest 1–2 years mastering German before/alongside study. Not an English-language shortcut.
1) NOT an English route — German C1 (then C1-Medizin) is mandatory; this is the single biggest filter. 2) Japanese high-school diploma alone is generally insufficient for direct entry → Studienkolleg M-Kurs + FSP usually required (structure confirmed; verify the diploma on the official anabin/KMK database before deciding); IB/A-Level need specific subject spreads + top grades. 3) Non-EU seats are scarce (~5% quota) and the numerus clausus/TMS makes medicine the most competitive subject. 4) Tuition is free in most states EXCEPT Baden-Württemberg (~EUR 1,500/sem for non-EU, confirmed on Heidelberg's own page); the ~EUR 18–19k total is an APPROXIMATE extrapolation; budget for living costs (~EUR 11,900/yr blocked account). 5) US ECFMG/USMLE eligibility is per-SCHOOL (WDOMS listing + Sponsor Note + 2024 WFME-accreditation requirement now in force) — do NOT assume it is automatic for all German grads; check wdoms.org. 6) Non-citizen Approbation is reported/likely but lacks a primary-source confirmation here — verify with Bundesärztekammer. 7) Returning to Japan requires MHLW 受験資格認定 + likely 予備試験 + ~1 yr clinical training, decided case-by-case. 8) Exact per-university/per-state subject thresholds and current GMC/AMC acceptance are marked unverified（要確認）.
