All IPBME students are provided with access to subscription-based academic journals via TMU. These are available on-site and off-site via VPN.
TMU provides an online learning management system, I'm@TMU, where Professors upload class handouts, participate in Q&As, and where students submit assessments and receive grades.
SUPPORT
We appreciate that doctoral studies can be stressful and that foreign students face unique challenges. IPBME works closely with TMU Office of Global Engagement (OGE) who provide assistance with administrative tasks such as applying for accommodation, visas, health insurance etc. OGE provides English-speaking personnel specifically placed to assist foreign students.
