The University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf is one of the most modern clinics in Europe. Specialists in different fields work here together under the same roof. The innovative medical technologies and a care-oriented ideology support doctors, nurses and researchers. This creates perfect conditions for close interaction of advanced medicine, research and training simultaneously. Over 11,000 employees work around the clock. 2,200 doctors and scientists work in well-equipped buildings and provide high-quality medical care to all their patients. UKE is a university clinic which means that the unity of research, education and patient care is hand in hand for the benefit of patients.

In recent years, the number of research topics in the UKE has increased significantly. A growing scientific focus is supported by the medical faculty and is reflected in research centres and joint projects at the national and European level. This is reflected in the growing number of innovative methods with the help of which the clinic's patients are treated.

The Gateway to the World, as Hamburg is often called, combines tradition with modernity and offers a cosmopolitan city style with many cultural and architectural landmarks. Proximity to the sea, north German charm and endless horizon open up in all its glory for city guests.
