Further Education and ­Training

Our division offers several regular online-based or virtual courses as well as yearly hybrid summer schools or workshops. These courses are designed for students and young scientists or clinical trainees as well as senior researchers or working professionals in clinics or research institutes. Our goal is to offer a flexible curriculum designed to meet the adult learner´s busy schedule. Participants should be able to attend our courses at any time and wherever they are.

DKFZ PhD Program
