- Description/content
- The IMPRS Physics and Medicine (IMPRS-PM) at the Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin (MPZPM) is a highly innovative graduate programme established in January 2022. IMPRS-PM educates and trains a new generation of scientists with insight into both physics and medical research.
In collaboration with the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) and the Universitätsklinikum Erlangen (UKER), we offer MSc stipends and PhD positions. The language of instruction and interaction of our structured graduate programme is English. Knowledge of the German language is not required, but we also offer German language classes at MPL, MPZPM and FAU.
The programme offers graduate studies in physics and medicine to students who already hold a Bachelor’s degree.
IMPRS Master's students will either be part of the "International Master's Programme Integrated Life Sciences (ILS) (https://www.biologie.nat.fau.de/studium/vor-dem-studium/master-integrated-life-sciences/)" or the "Master of Sciences in Physics (https://www.physics.nat.fau.eu/studies/bsc-and-msc-in-physics/)" at the Faculty of Natural Sciences, the "Master's Programme Medical Engineering (https://www.medical-engineering.study.fau.eu/prospective-students/joining-the-master-degree-program/)" at the Faculty of Engineering or the "Master's Programme Molecular Medicine (https://www.med.fau.de/studium/m-sc-molecular-medicine/)" at the Faculty of Medicine at FAU.
