Testimonials

My experience with the IMBS program was incredible. It gave me a unique opportunity to study, travel, and meet people on the old continent. It opened doors for me when it came to working, but it also opened my mind personally. I believe that if you have the means and the chance to study for a postgraduate degree of this caliber, you should not think twice.
MiguelShow Testimonial

The intensive summer school program gave me the chance to start the IMBS Master’s program in Buenos Aires. Additionally, the three months of lab experience in Freiburg helped me get a master’s thesis project in my area of interest. The hand-picked modules, lectures on cutting-edge research, and opportunity for exceptional laboratory practice with intercultural exchange made it a very enriching experience.
