Overview
I really liked the postgraduate program in Molecular Medicine offered by the University of Ulm. It was very practical-oriented and involved learning several techniques and doing an internship for a month in a lab of our choosing. The course itself was very structured and student-friendly.
Fees
I didn't have to pay any tuition fees.
