Programme

There is a growing global demand for academic continuing education of oncologists comprising - besides extensive clinical skills in various fields of oncology - aspects of patient management, standardization of treatment procedures as well as expertise in the performance of clinical trials and cooperation with the industry.

Oncology is one of the medical specialties with the highest dynamics with respect to new findings as far as molecular mechanisms and their implementation in new therapies are concerned. The development of new drugs is accompanied by a growing demand for clinical trials, participating patients and physicians being operationally in charge of the studies.

The main objective of this Master Online Program is to improve the quality of patient treatment and care through the development of professional competencies and excellence. In order to attain this progress, we cooperate with health professionals and health care institutions worldwide and promote health care capacities by sharing scientific knowledge, methods and skills.

Organisation

Ulm University, founded in 1967, is located on the so-called "Eselsberg" hill on the outskirts of the city of Ulm in the middle of a pleasant forest area. The many footpaths on campus make for a pleasant stroll and the beautiful Botanical Garden, which accommodates a large variety of exotic and domestic plants, is just a minute's walk away.

Over the years the university has served as a nucleus for the foundation of a variety of public and industrial research and development centers, as well as three major hospitals - jointly referred to as "The Science City". This rapidly growing community now consists of several specialized research institutes like the Institute for Laser Technologies in Medicine and Measurement or the Solar and Hydrogen Energy Research Institute, just to name a few.

Study in distance learning

The city center of Ulm is home to a mixture of proud, stone relics from its days as a free city of the Holy Roman Empire with its romantic Fishermen's and Tanners' Quarter and high-quality building with modern lines, a post-modern town house next to the gothic Münster cathedral and the historical market square behind the ancient Town Hall with its painted facade neighboring the city library in the form of a glass pyramid. In contrast, Neu-Ulm presents a more regular appearance and has recently experienced an inner-town modernization.

The Swabian Alb begins right at the city boundary and offers a wealth of experiences to enjoy: castles and caves, valleys and mountain ranges, baroque churches, abbeys and picturesque small towns. But there is a broad range of leisure activities in Ulm and Neu-Ulm itself, too - on land and on water: a walk through the Friedrichsau public park with its traditional beer gardens, Neu-Ulm's wonderful Glacis park or through the beautiful Botanical Garden, a bicycle tour or a boat trip on the Danube river, a visit of the Ulm Museum or the fascinating Museum of Bread Culture, and so on.
