Hello Subhash, Yes, if you plan to work as a doctor in Germany, you will need to take the “Fachsprachprüfung” (KSP). Why? Your Ukrainian medical degree is considered a non-EU qualification in Germany. It must go through the official recognition process, even with 11 years of UK emergency medicine experience. + UK work experience is valuable, but it does not exempt you from the German medical language and recognition requirements. + Language requirement: You must have at least B2 general German and pass the C1-level Fachsprachprüfung, conducted by the State Chamber of Physicians in your federal state. + Purpose of the KSP: To prove you can communicate effectively with patients, colleagues, and in documentation within German clinical settings. Your steps: ✅ Submit your degree for recognition (Approbationsbehörde) ✅ Provide proof of B2 general German ✅ Pass the C1 Fachsprachprüfung (KSP) ✅ Fulfil other requirements (health certificate, police clearance, etc.) We’ve explained the Fachsprachprüfung process in detail, including format, tips, and how to prepare effectively – in our blog: 👉 https://get2germany.com/en/blog/fachsprachpruefung Your UK experience will be a real strength in the clinical part – now it’s all about showing your skills in German.
