About us

The Medical Faculty at Heidelberg University has been at the forefront of Global Health in Germany by integrating different aspects of global health in research and teaching at the Institute of Global Health for over 50 years now. The prestigious Alexander von Humbold Professorship in Global Health has further strengthened the global health research at the Medical Faculty. The Heidelberg Graduate School of Global Health offered by the Institute of Global Health and funded by the Else Kröner-Fresenius-Stiftung aims to provide medical students with an opportunity to engage in global health research. Embedded in the MEDISS Programme(Medical Structured Scientific Programme) of the Medical Faculty, the Graduate School offers a structured curriculum, interdisciplinary exchange and a wide range of cooperation partners for developing a high quality doctoral thesis.

Structure

The Heidelberg Graduate School of Global Health is positioned at the Institute of Global Health within the Medical Faculty. The
coordination team consists of five people and is chaired by the speaker. It will decide
on scientific and administrative developments, e.g. the curriculum, allocation
of travel funds. The coordinator and his administrative team will deal with day-to-day business. He is also part of the coordination team. The other three members of the team are two scientists and a student
representative. They will be elected during the yearly plenary meeting. The coordination team also constitutes the selection committee which will decide about the scholarships.
