International summer schools, short courses and projects
Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences
Every year the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences organises short courses and summer schools on global health issues. Experts from all over the world are invited to give lectures and hands-on workshops to a heterogenous group of students, researchers and/or working professionals. The Faculty also participates (and has participated) in many international medical education projects. These activities underline the international dimension of our Faculty.
