Heidelberg University – A Tradition for the Future

Established in 1386, Heidelberg University – also known as Ruperto Carola – is Germany’s oldest university and one of Europe’s most research-intensive institutions. Its successes in the Excellence Initiative and its internationally recognised rankings substantiate the leading role and excellent reputation of Heidelberg University in the academic, scientific and research landscape. In educating students and advancing outstanding young researchers, Ruperto Carola emphasises research-based teaching and structured doctoral training programmes in its graduate schools.

Heidelberg University sees itself as a research university, and its broad subject spectrum includes the humanities, the social sciences, law, the natural and life sciences, and medicine. The four interdisciplinary Fields of Focus form the core of Heidelberg’s research strategy: the molecular and cellular basis of life, structure and pattern formation in the material world, cultural dynamics in globalised worlds, and self-regulation and regulation: individuals and organisations.

Over 30,000 students are enrolled in the twelve faculties of Ruperto Carola. With more than 160 degree programmes, Heidelberg offers a preeminent array of subject combinations. The university actively participates in a worldwide network of teaching and research collaborations. International graduate academies, 19 institutional partnerships at the overall university level, and exchange arrangements with over 400 universities throughout the world underscore the strength of Ruperto Carola’s international ties. One in five research associates comes from outside Germany, and the percentage of international fellows in the graduate academies often exceeds 50 percent.

The university is especially committed to advancing exceptional individual disciplines, promoting dialogue beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries, and turning research findings to good use for society and the economy. In this endeavour it relies on strong partners outside the university. Examples include the alliances in the life sciences with the German Cancer Research Centre in Heidelberg or the HEiKA alliance with the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology with its strong focus on the natural and engineering sciences.Pursuant to the Industry-on-Campus (IoC) concept, Ruperto Carola enters into longer-term cooperative partnerships with industry in strategically oriented basic research in order to improve knowledge transfer into application-oriented research. One such IoC organisation that enjoys international visibility is the Catalysis Research Laboratory, or CaRLa, in which university post-docs work together with BASF.

Adding to the lustre of Heidelberg’s international reputation as a quality research institution are its Nobel laureates. 56 Nobel prize winners are connected with Heidelberg, eleven of whom were or still are professors at the university. The most recent recipients were Stefan W. Hell in chemistry in 2014 and Harald zur Hausen in physiology or medicine in 2008.

Heidelberg’s cosmopolitan and student-friendly atmosphere is one of the city’s distinguishing characteristics. Heidelberg is a lively centre of the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region and is marked by its high density of research-intensive industry and conglomeration of scientific research institutions. These institutions, working alongside the university, form an internationally competitive research network, providing a wide assortment of contact and cooperation possibilities for Heidelberg University researchers and students.
In its efforts to combine European university values such as autonomy, freedom of research and teaching, non-discriminatory access and meritocratic advancement structures with forward-looking academic concepts in research and teaching, Heidelberg University is architecting a bridge to the future – The Future. Since 1386.

Masters Funding Overview

If you’re thinking about doing a Masters degree, then the chances are you’re also considering the cost of postgraduate study – and the funding available.
Funding for Masters study can seem complex at first. As an undergraduate you may have been covered by a national grant or student loan scheme, offered to you as standard by your government. As a postgraduate you’ll have to be much more proactive in seeking out, evaluating and applying for funding from one of a wide range of sources.
The information in our funding guides will help you make sense of these different options and find the right funding for your Masters degree. You can also learn more about our own FindAMasters scholarships, as well as our dedicated postgraduate funding search tool.

“It’s fear and lack of education,” Alice Police, a UC Irvine breast surgeon told the Orange County Register. “I just had a patient who came in … saying, ‘I want a bilateral (double mastectomy). I’m going to do everything I can to beat this cancer.’ It took me an hour to explain to her that it might hurt her.”

Early-stage breast cancer patients whose tumors carry genetic markers associated with a low risk of disease recurrence may not need chemotherapy, according to a new study that employed a test devised by UCSF researcher Laura van ’t Veer.

Using a genetic test known as MammaPrint, van ’t Veer and her colleagues were able to predict the risk of cancer recurrence by measuring the expression of a suite of 70 genes.

“For the first time, a prospective, randomized trial shows that the active biology of breast cancer in an individual, as assessed by the MammaPrint test, can assist in making a well-informed choice to undergo chemotherapy treatment or not,” said van ’t Veer.

Scientists also are working to help improve the accuracy of doctors’ prognoses for breast cancer patients.

A new method developed by UCLA scientists opens new avenues for doing just that, using data about patients’ genetic sequences to produce more reliable projections for survival time and how they might respond to possible treatments.

To treat or not to treat? That is the question researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory hope to answer with a new advance, identifying 14 genes that could help doctors and their cancer patients decide if a particular therapy would be worth pursuing.

Meanwhile, UC San Diego researchers reported that precision medicine can lead to better outcomes for patients with cancer. After reviewing 346 phase one clinical trials involving 13,203 patients, the study authors found that patients who received targeted treatments had response rates 6 times higher than those who did not.
New hope for patients

There have been other important advances, too.

UCLA scientists, led by Dennis Slamon, helped develop the breast cancer drug Herceptin – which the FDA approved in 1998 – and their research played a key role in the development of Ibrance, a new drug to treat patients with advanced breast cancer. After patients in a clinical study led by UCLA researchers showed a dramatic improvement using Ibrance, the FDA granted the drug “breakthrough therapy” status, allowing it to be fast-tracked for approval last year.

UC Berkeley scientists recently found a target for treating one of the most deadly forms of breast cancer, known as “triple-negative” breast cancer. This form of breast cancer accounts for about 1 in 5 cases, and they are deadlier than other forms of breast cancer, in part because no drugs have been developed to specifically target these tumors.

Triple-negative breast cancers do not rely on the hormones estrogen and progesterone for growth, nor on human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Because they do not depend on these three targets, they do not respond to modern hormonal therapies or the HER2-targeted drug Herceptin.

In August, scientists announced that they had found a long-elusive Achilles’ heel within triple-negative breast tumors, and used a drug-lik molecule to successfully target this vulnerability, killing cancer cells in the lab and shrinking tumors in mice.

Such breakthroughs offer new hope to breast cancer patients. Courtney herself is now cancer-free, along with her three other family members.

“I am very grateful for the other problem solvers and entrepreneurs around the world who made that possible,” Courtney said.
