Berlin University Alliance - Melbourne Joint Training Group
Tackle the public health challenges of today and tomorrow through our collaborative projects.
The Berlin University Alliance – Melbourne Joint Training Group is an international research training group established by the University of Melbourne in partnership with the Berlin University Alliance (BUA), a collective of four leading universities in Berlin: Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin, and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin.
The group was formed as a part of the Berlin University Alliance’s second “Grand Challenge Initiative” (CGI), which addresses the field of Global Health as an emerging discipline.
Together, the BUA and the University of Melbourne aim to strengthen their international approach to Global Health challenges by giving joint PhD candidates the opportunity to work on a globally collaborative research project, gain international experience and insights and become part of an excellent research environment in Berlin and Melbourne.
I like this IRTG a lot! It's a pretty cool experience, and my supervisors and peers are awesome!

Our Partner: The Berlin University Alliance
The Berlin University Alliance is an organisation born of the cooperative relationship between three of Berlin’s premier universities and one of Europe’s largest university hospitals. The research performed at these four institutions helps to make Berlin one of Germany’s leading sites for academia and research. More than 100,000 students study at these institutions, which serve as a magnet for scholars and scientists from all over the world and a site of training for outstanding next-generation talent in academia and the sciences.
The members of the Berlin University Alliance
BUA – Melbourne Joint Training Group researchers participate in collaborative research with Melbourne and the Berlin University Alliance by way of the latter’s member institutions.
