Every student visits once a national / international meeting relevant to his/her field. Submission of an abstract is compulsory and leads to an acquisition of one credit point.

The attendance of at least one students’ retreat is mandatory and credited with one credit point.

An introductory course of 3 days will be held once a year. The goal is to introduce the new students to the various model organisms, methods, and fields of expertise of the research groups of the program, and to foster contacts between the peers. For this compulsory task the student will acquire 1 credit point.

Research related courses are offered by the members of the MIM PhD program. The courses can be taken throughout the PhD program.

PhD students may also choose other graduate courses from the course catalogue of UZH / ETH, as long as they complement the education in a meaningful way.

Credit points can also be acquired by visiting courses in transferable skills offered by leading experts from both universities.
