Requirements for the application

To apply for a job in a healthcare profession at Uniklinik RWTH Aachen with professional training acquired abroad, you will need:

  • a letter of application
  • a curriculum vitae in tabular form
  • proof of your professional qualification obtained abroad
  • if available: notification from the Münster district government regarding the equivalence assessment of the vocational training (see below*)
  • at least a German B1 language certificate (Goethe Institute, TELC, ECL or ÖSD), a B2 certificate will be mandatory in the further course of the program
  • sufficient vaccination protection at the start of employment (measles, hepatitis B)

We will support you in the process of German professional recognition and look forward to welcoming you as a registered nurse at the Uniklinik RWTH Aachen.

*Supplement to the assessment notice:

If you would like to work and live in NRW, the central recognition office for healthcare professions is the district government in Münster. The differences between the foreign professional qualification and the training content applicable in Germany are checked there. Significant differences are often identified. These are stated in a notice of assessment (so-called deficiency notice). These differences are compensated for as part of a qualification measure in Germany (either in the form of an adaptation period or a professional knowledge test). If equivalence is determined, you will also receive a notification, which you should enclose. In this case, no qualification measure is required.

If you are applying for an adaptation measure in the field of surgical technical assistance or anesthesia technical assistance and if you already have a notification from the DKG (issued before 31.12.2021) from Berlin, please send it to us. In this case, you do not need to submit an additional application for an equivalence check in Münster.
 

We will be happy to contact you as soon as we have received your complete application documents.
