The postgraduate education at UTA-DIH covers both the identification of research topics and supervision of individual post-graduate students, organization of post-graduate courses on research methodology, as well as facilitation of an exchange program for paediatric training between the University of Tampere and the University of Malawi.

A curriculum for more organized post-graduate training on international health subjects is being developed through an informal network of development-oriented teachers and researchers at University of Tampere and Tampere Technical University (GlobeNet Tampere)
