Get to know CMFI's Graduate School IGIM

The Interfaculty Graduate School of Infection Biology and Microbiology (IGIM) was established in 2012 to offer doctoral students in medicine, biology and natural sciences an innovative and attractive training programme. As part of the Cluster of Excellence CMFI and the German Centre for Infection Research (DZIF), the IGIM currently supports around 120 MD/PhD graduates.

The IGIM offers comprehensive support in all phases of the doctorate. Doctoral students from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine benefit from customised soft skills courses, Grad School Days, Methods and Technique Days, Career Days and the popular IGIM Summer School. The CMFI provides financial and structural support to sustainably strengthen the scientific qualifications and career opportunities of young researchers.
