Innovative Medicine

The IMIM programme offers an integrated curriculum that builds on four well-established, English-taught Master's programmes at the four European partner institutions:

• MSc Molecular Medicine and Innovative Treatment at the University of Groningen
• MSc Translational Medical Research at Heidelberg University
• MSc Molecular Medicine and MSc Medical Research at Uppsala University
• MSc Bioengineering at Tartu University

As an IMIM student, you will choose a programme to join for the first year of your IMIM programme and another programme for your second IMM year. You will thus consecutively be enrolled in and participate in two of these programmes and spend the respective year at the corresponding institution. Hence, students who choose to spend a year in Groningen, will be immersed in the MSc Molecular Medicine and Innovative Treatment.

Mobility is a key feature of the IMIM programme. Students will spend one year studying at two of the European partner universities. They also have the opportunity to apply for a fourth-semester placement to conduct a research project at one of IMIM's partner universities or private sector/industry partners. For more information, please visit the IMIM website: www.innovativemedicine.eu

The IMIM participation fees cover all mandatory mobility modules at the partner universities, granting access to university facilities such as libraries, labs and working spaces. The fees include basic insurance coverage that meets Erasmus+ EMJM requirements. However, the participation costs do generally not cover expenses for travelling and accommodation, even though it is mandatory to attend all IMIM-specific events at the different locations.

The IMIM Participation Fees are:

• EUR 9,000 year for non-EEA nationals
• EUR 4,500 per year for EEA nationals

IMIM participation fees are to be paid per year to the central IMIM coordination institution. If you receive an EMJM scholarship, the participation fees are fully covered, and you will not need to pay them separately.

Upon completion of this programme you are fully prepared to continue your career in translational biomedical research in any international setting.

Our programme has a strong track record of success, with an almost non-existing drop-out rate and the vast majority of students completing the programme within two years. Over 90% of our graduates find employment within six months of completing their studies.

Thanks to the multidisciplinary nature of the programme you'll have a diverse range of career paths to choose from.

You'll be well-prepared to pursue a research-focused career, while also having the flexibility to explore positions that bridge science with business and policy.

IMIM educates you to further enhance your research skills and become a fully equipped translational researcher. As a graduate you will have a clear perspective on the basic underlying mechanisms of disease, the development of new drugs, and their clinical application: from Bench to Bedside and Beyond..
