University of Groningen

The universities of Oldenburg and Groningen have been working closely together for more than 30 years – the two institutions first signed a cooperation agreement as early as 1980. The foundation of the University Medical Centre in Oldenburg in 2012 marked another step towards intensifying this cooperation. In addition to the introduction of a joint medical degree programme, research activities in the field of medicine and health sciences were also stepped up. You can find more information about School VI’s cooperation with the University of Groningen here.
