Ulm University has a strong national and international reputation in interdisciplinary research in molecular medicine. It is one of few German universities offering a consecutive course of studies in molecular medicine (BSc, MSc/PhD). The interdisciplinary bachelor and master course of studies, which are organised by the medical faculty, strictly follow the Bologna criteria. The training of doctoral students is organised by the International Graduate School in Molecular Medicine Ulm. The graduate school is a faculty-independent, central institution of Ulm University providing structured, high quality training for doctoral students working in this field. It is based on a three years course of studies in molecular medicine - called The International PhD Programme in Molecular Medicine - with transparent admission rules, a studies plan, intermediate evaluations and multilateral-interdisciplinary thesis advisory committees. The graduate school provides the international degree PhD and the corresponding German degree Dr. rer. nat., respectively.
The scientific basis for the graduate school are externally funded research networks with proven excellence. Doctoral training is organised in thematically focused Research Training Groups, that correspond to externally funded research networks and concentrate on particular fields of molecular medicine: "Signalling Networks in Development and Degeneration", "Signalling Networks in the Hematopoetic System and Oncology" and "Signalling Networks in CardioMetabolic Disorders".
In addition to the structured training, the graduate school will offer soft skill training opportunities, an International and Recruitment Office, a mobility programme, a Career and Social Centre, a mentoring programme and support for female and male doctoral students with children, respectively. In order to pool training resources, on the one hand, and to improve the thesis work of medical students (Dr. med.), which are interested in experimental scientific research, on the other hand, the graduate school also provides the structural basis for the programme "Experimental Medicine" of the medical faculty.
