Focussing on Student Health

RWTH Aachen University and Techniker Krankenkasse have jointly launched a project to promote University Health Management or UGM for short. The aim is to strengthen health knowledge and skills among the entire university community, so that students, scholars, and staff can learn, teach, and work successfully in the long term.

With the implementation of a Student Health Management program, or SGM for short, the focus will initially be on the health of the students.
