Medicine — Amsterdam International Medical Summer School (AIMSS)

Since 1990 (see past courses), the Amsterdam International Medical Summer School (AIMSS) annually organizes Summer Schools for students from all over the world. The Summer School offers courses where you will be also involved in ongoing laboratory research. All in an international setting where students from several research areas come together to study and do research.
Participating in the AIMSS opens the opportunity for you to get acquainted with the Dutch education system and top level research of the Academic Medical Center of the University of Amsterdam (AMC-UvA). As a result of the participation in the Summer School several students have then done research at the AMC by invitation in various departments of the AMC. The Summer School could be your start of a successful career in the AMC.
The Summer School is organized for advanced students in medicine, biology and health sciences with a basic knowledge of biomedical and clinical sciences as well as recent graduates. The course language is English.
