Library Collection & Acquisitions
The University and State Library holds an extensive collection of printed works, which reflects the historical development of the subject since the Middle Ages. The collection is currently organised around the key areas of teaching and research (see below). Most recent publications are made available in electronic form.
Research
Printed works in the field of medicine are mainly held in the University Hospital Branch Library (Ha 150). Older collections are stored in the stacks and available for use in the reading room. The ULB’s catalogues can be used to search for the collections and their locations.
Much of the current literature is available in electronic form (e-books, e-journals, databases) and can be accessed within the university network – via VPN accessible even from outside the university. Here, too, the ULB’s catalogues provide a starting point for research and access.
Training courses
Training sessions are held regularly on how to use the library, how to search for literature and databases, and on reference management software. In addition, there are advisory services on open science.
Collection of subject-related links
You can find the subject’s electronically available journals in the Electronic Journals Library (EZB).
Various specialist databases are available for your research; you can find these in the ULB’s Database Information System (DBIS).

The Faculty of Medicine offers degree programmes in Medicine and Dentistry leading to the state examination. In addition, there are Bachelor’s degree programmes in Evidence-Based Nursing and Midwifery, a Master’s degree programme in Health and Nursing Sciences, and a PhD programme in Health and Nursing Sciences: Participation as the Goal of Nursing and Therapy. There is academic overlap and collaboration with disciplines such as physics, biology, biochemistry, pharmacy and chemistry.
