Welcome

Share your knowledge with students and teachers coming form different countries and cultures.

After the successful implementation of the JPEMS by the University of Angers (2011 and 2013), the Universiry of Nantes (2012 and 2014) and the University of Szeged (2015), the VUmc school of Medical Sciences will have the honor to host the medical programme in 2016. Come and study in Holland's capital city Amsterdam and follow a unique mix of curriculums in an international context, taught entirely in English.

The VUmc School of Medical sciences is pleased to invite you to participate in this year’s one-semester study programme: a full semester with an exciting combination of lectures by professors and researchers from many different European universities, small group tutorials, student-driven projects and placements which can be offered in a research environment according to the student’s preference.
This semester of pre-clinical teaching, centred on biological sciences and research issues, is implemented by a consortium of European universities: Angers (France), Nantes (France), Szeged (Hungary), Amsterdam (Netherlands), Cluj-Napoca (Romania), Naples (Italy) and Timisoara (Romania). It is fully credited within the home-institution curriculum for all students.
JPEMS is open to all students from our consortium who are enrolled in a medical course and keen on taking part in a unique, multicultural experience. The objective is to offer participants the opportunity:

  • to have an overview of European medicine taught by renowned visiting professors,
  • to benefit from a large European network useful for early exposure to research,
  • to learn medical English or/and French from doctors with international careers,
  • to increase their own employability in international organisations.

An international staff from all partner institutions is constantly involved in the design of the curriculum, in the elaboration of course and assessment materials but also in medical teaching and medical research. Courses are given by Dutch and foreign visiting professors entirely in English.


After Angers, Nantes and Szeged it’s time to study in the city of canals in 2016!
