The community, comprising all doctoral candidates at the School of Medicine and Health, were asked last week to choose their doctoral representatives. These representatives will serve as a link between the candidates and the School, and they will represent the interests of doctoral candidates in the steering committees of each program and in other council meetings.

The results are as follows:

Behavioural and Social Sciences: Lisa Stauch, Lisa Sophie Reigl

From October 1st 2023, MGC and Faculty Graduate Center of Sport and Health Sciences merged into Graduate Center of Medicine and Health. In order for the candidates to be able to register into the program even during the technical adjustments, we are offering some additional information and document(s):

The annual data confirmation („Rückmeldung“) for this year hast started on 1 September and will end on 15 October.

As soon as you have confirmed your data in DocGS, your supervisor will automatically be asked to confirm the data as well. Only if both parties confirm the data before the deadline on 15 October, your membership will continue regularly.

In the course of the School Transformation, the Faculty Graduate Centers of the TUM Graduate School will be transferred to Graduate Centers at the Schools according to the HSP resolution. Accordingly, the Faculty Graduate Centers of Sport and Health Sciences (FGZ-SG) and Medicine (MGC) will be closed on 30th September 2023 and the Graduate Center of Medicine and Health will be established on 1st October 2023, succeeding the above-named Graduate Centers.
