International degree programmes and doctoral programmes
Model course in Human Medicine
The aim of the model course in Human Medicine, a joint initiative between the University of Oldenburg and the University of Groningen, is to explore new and cross-border approaches to medical training. From day one, students are taught not only the scientific fundamentals of the discipline but they also follow clinical modules. In addition, they follow modules that are specifically designed to help them improve their communication skills. They gain insights into and first-hand experience of medical practice e.g. by completing internships at general practitioners’ practices from the beginning of their studies. Students also have the option of spending at least one year in Groningen, which gives them the opportunity to learn about another European healthcare system.

Doctoral programmes
As part of the OLTECH Graduate School, the School offers various structured doctoral programmes, which can be completed entirely in English.
You can find more information on the OLTECH website or on the websites of the various degree programmes:
Neurosensory Science and Systems
Molecular Basis of Sensory Biology
Oldenburg-Groningen Joint Graduate Research Training Group Translational Research
Applicants who are interested in doing a PhD but do not wish to do so as part of one of the structured programmes should contact the heads of the individual research groups and inquire about the possibility of doing an individual doctoral programme. You can find out more about the individual research groups on the department websites.
Model degree programme in human medicine
The aim of the model degree programme inhuman medicine, a joint project between the University of Oldenburg and the Rijksuniversität Groningen, is to break new ground in medical training across borders. From day one, students are taught not only basic science subjects but also clinical content. Students are also trained in communication skills. They gain insights into medical practice through general practitioner internships, among other things, which they complete right from the start of their studies. The opportunity to spend at least one year in Groningen also gives students an insight into another European healthcare system.
