In the IGIM's introductory seminar, experts teach the basics of scientific work and research methods using concrete examples from integrative medicine. In small groups with doctoral supervisors, students have the opportunity to develop and discuss specific research questions. Participation in the introductory seminar is a prerequisite for applying for the IGIM programme.

What is the IGIM?

The Interprofessional Graduate School for Integrative Medicine and Health Sciences (IGIM) was established at Witten/Herdecke University in 2021. The IGIM offers a cross-university structured doctoral programme to ensure a solid scientific education for young scientists (master's and doctoral theses) in integrative medicine. Participation in the Research Training Group programme is free of charge after admission.

The application deadline for the introductory seminar is 31 August 2026. Anyone interested in a doctorate/master's thesis in integrative medicine can apply by sending an email to IGIM@uni-wh.de. The application consists of a CV and a letter of motivation (1.5 to 2 pages).
