With international participants and small groups, individual guidance will be provided. Lectures take place in the beautiful city of Munich. During the advanced part of their studies, students may take part in modules across the globe by the tropEd network and/or select from a wide range of modules offered by the Division of Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine at the University Hospital of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München.
