Five good reasons to study at ITM
The cultural diversity and variety of professional backgrounds within our group of students and teachers allow for rich exchange, comparative analysis and the confrontation of ideas. ITM graduates leave very satisfied. They are lifelong members of our alumni network, benefit from lasting scientific relations and, more often than not, return to the institute to enjoy further education.
1. Flexible programmes
To fill your professional and learning needs, you're able to mix and match elective courses at ITM and our partner institutions in the world. We also offer individual study programmes, lifelong learning opportunities and evening seminars.
2. We'll help make your professional dream a reality
Graduates have a wide variety of career paths to choose from, including public health, research, NGOs, governmental, academia and medical positions.
3. Experienced professors with personalised teaching styles
Your teachers are your study partners: they share their profound knowledge and skills, act as catalysts and push you to learn through personal participation. ITM professors are active in the field, collaborate for research purposes, and enjoy international recognition.
4. Over a century's worth of experience
Established in 1906, ITM has grown from a small training institution to an internationally recognised academic, scientific and medical institute, dedicating itself to help advance worldwide science and health for all.
