In cooperation with the Medical University of Graz, University Hospital Graz and industrial partners, the Postgraduate Dental School offers postgraduate professional development programs in all specialties of dentistry.

Building on many years of experience in the multidisciplinary field of biobanking, we offer exciting educational opportunities in a networked university environment to anyone interested in working in the international world of biobanks.

Fellows are well-educated doctors of medicine or dentistry who would like to deepen and expand their knowledge and skills through practical hands-on experience at University Hospital Graz over a period of three to twelve months. The goal of a fellowship is to expand specialist knowledge and skills in an experienced team of a university department at University Hospital Graz. During the application process, the scientific focus is determined by the university department and the potential fellow in an individual research and educational program.

International short courses on different scientific topics take place regularly at our university and provide our international guests with an excellent opportunity for networking with Med Uni Graz experts and colleagues from around the world.

The Medical University of Graz is devoted to the principle of lifelong learning and allows its employees to attend all in-house seminars free of charge. Continuous professional development of employees is an important area of emphasis since employees as well as the university must keep their knowledge and competencies up to date.
