Please note

The IPMM website is currently being updated and adapted to the regulations of its successor program, IPBS. 

Since this transition is still underway, we ask that you also visit the IPBS pages on the University of Cologne’s Faculty of Medicine website for more information. 

Curriculum

The IPBS curriculum allows students to individually tailor a course program to fit their particular educational background and their specific research interests in the fields of natural sciences, molecular medicine, biomedical statistics and science communication. The basic outline of the study plans is set out below. The formal coursework is required for the completion of the dissertation and encompass a minimum of four hours per week and semester over four semesters. 
The attended courses should be documented on the IPBS attendance forms.
If you have further questions regarding the curriculum please contact PD Dr. Catherin Niemann
