For me IMIM is not just a master program, rather a journey towards self-enrichment.

“It may sound melodramatic, but my days in the IMIM program at University of Groningen and Uppsala University are truly among the best times of my life. Before attending the program I expected to get quality education and research opportunities. But IMIM offered me a lot more. The education is very much based on the recent translational biomedical research that made me aware of how progressively scientific communities and industries are putting efforts to improve health and life. The thing I like most about IMIM is the option to do three different research internships in this two-year master program, which helped me to have hands-on experiences in different research skills as well as getting acquainted with many people in different laboratories. Consequently, this provides the opportunity to find your direction towards which you would like to continue your research interest. My whole experience in the program is quite enormous to put in few words. For me IMIM is not just a master program, rather a journey towards self-enrichment.”
