Health Informatics, Computer Science and more
The digital transformation of the global healthcare industry is advancing at a fast pace which creates a high demand for experts with both IT and healthcare-related knowledge and specialised skills.
Our new Computer Science programme aims to create this new generation of experts by combining a thorough computer science education with modules on healthcare and artificial intelligence.
You gain an understanding of the crucial methods, principles and techniques of the most important programming paradigms and the associated markup and programming languages. You learn how to implement and evaluate different application systems, cloud technologies, cyber security measures and software solutions.
Thanks to the health focus you become acquainted with neural networks, image processing and further applications of AI in healthcare technology and management. You deepen your knowledge of IT systems and digitalisation measures in hospitals and learn about the importance of patents, liability, process management and entrepreneurship in the healthcare sector. Modules on risk and quality management, epidemiology, supply chain management and public health complement the curriculum and your computer science education.
You also get to choose between:
- 7-semester / 3.5-year option (International Experience Track)
- 6-semester / 3-year option (Fast Track)
Health Information Manager, IT consultant and more
The project- and skill-based approach of the Bachelor´s degree in Healthcare Informatics helps you train your soft, hard and personal skills and prepares you for demanding positions within the healthcare and other industries.
Due to the shortage of skilled professionals in industries, such as the software, telecommunications, manufacturing or medical device industry, graduates can benefit from a wide range of career opportunities. Typical fields of activity can be, for example:

The Bachelor of Science degree helps students get positions in small- and medium-sized enterprises, public authorities, international corporations, or administrative departments of different businesses in the healthcare and other sectors. The degree also enables you to do a Master’s degree in Germany and abroad.
