GRK 2350 - Graduate School "ACE"
Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on Psychosocial and Somatic Conditions Across the Lifespan
The GRK examines the neurobiological, somatic and psychosocial consequences of traumatic childhood experiences (up to 18 years, adverse childhood experiences, ACE). Integrated into the central research priorities of the ClMH and both medical faculties of the University of Heidelberg, the GRK benefits of existing research groups on ACE and cohorts as well as of the experience made in many years with Graduate programs.

GS 880 - "Vaskular Medicine" Graduate School
Vascular Medicine
In the "Vaskular Medicine" research area, International Research Group 880 cooperates with Rijksuniversiteit Groningen (NL) to contribute to graduate education at the Mannheim Medical Faculty. The research program comprises areas closely linked to common and widespread illnesses, such as cardio-vascular diseases, diabetes and cancer. Additionally, the most important triggers of endothelial damage, such as inflammation, are explored.

NAR - "Dementia" Graduate School
Dementia Graduate School
The social and natural scientists and doctors in the Network Aging Research explore interdisciplinary aspects of the aging process that affect overall aging in humans..
The Aging Research Network at Heidelberg University opened the „Graduate Program Dementia“ on March 1, 2010. Prof. Dr. Andreas Kruse and Prof. Dr. Konrad Beyreuther are its scientific directors. Interdisciplinary work on dementia is intended to have a signaling effect and influence cooperation among the health professions needed in our highly differentiated health care system.

"Medical Biometry/ Biostatistics" Master's Study Program
Medical Biometry / Biostatistics
The Master’s study program is an in-service program at the Medical Faculty at Heidelberg University that involves a total of 23 required courses. The Institute for Medical Biometry and Informatics organizes the program.
Heidelberg University Hospital
This is a hybrid study program that unites medicine and statistics, and prepares students to work as medical biometricians. The program aims to bring the areas of medicine and statistics together and as such allows for successful medical research.
