Faculty and staff at the International European University, have appointed office hours when you can ask for their help in transitioning to postgraduate study. You can get help developing your skills in academic writing or research, or any other skills specific to your degree program. An essential advantage of a high-quality Postgraduate program at the International European University is that you can build a lasting relationship with your teaching and academic staff during your time there. You should be able to approach your professors and university staff with any questions about your course, your study, or any aspect of your work.

Moreover, Postgraduate studying enables you to study the key concepts and approaches involved in teaching and facilitating learning in the clinical environment, furthering your application of theory to practice. You will also analyze relevant forms of assessment and evaluation and consider the roles of learning support and learning resources in effective delivery. There will be opportunities to practice your teaching skills and to observe and give feedback to others. Our Postgraduate Program in Medicine focuses on promoting the professional and personal development of future medical specialists, combining it with a variety of training in medical research laboratories, the most prominent and well-equipped clinics and hospitals in Poznan, rehabilitation centers, and educational establishments for improving and boosting practical skills received during the previous studying.
