Overview
From the basics of medical science to lab experiments for the Master’s thesis, individual scientific training takes priority. Experimental work in state-of-the-art research labs is essential; practicals in research labs, tutorials, excursions, lectures and seminars complement the curriculum. The ultimate goal is to train you in thinking out of the box and to provide knowledge that helps cover ground in research more quickly.
