Within internationalisation initiatives, the Faculty of Medicine strives for high quality in the core missions - education, research and collaboration.

ii) Attendance at an international course The application must include an explanation of how the course will help your development and contribute to your research project and training. Doctoral students should include reference to the national and local learning goals.
Funding will be prioritised for applicants that have not received funding from the previous calls.
