Programme description
The interdisciplinary Master’s degree programme in Medical Information Sciences builds on our Bachelor’s degree programme of the same name. It deepens knowledge of the fundamentals by offering a wide variety of courses from computer science, medical information sciences, and medicine, enabling students to individually specialise. A broad spectrum of internships offers the opportunity to apply what has been learned in either research or practice-oriented environments. Small group sizes in lectures and seminars ensure excellent and individual support.
Core Topics:
- Medical Data Science
- (Bio-) Medical Research
- Digital Health and Personalised Medicine
- Medical Technology
- Information Technology in Healthcare
- Computer Science
Mode of study
- Fully on-site
International elements in the curriculum
The curriculum of this study programme includes international elements that support global perspectives and cross-cultural learning:
- Integrated/optional study abroad unit(s)
Students may choose an optional study abroad module through our Erasmus+ and WeltWeit partner networks. This exchange is ideally undertaken during the third semester.
Integrated internships
The curriculum integrates two Project Modules (10 ECTS each) and a Master’s Thesis (30 ECTS) to ensure hands-on expertise.
The Project Module consists of an internship within one of the many Medical Information Sciences labs at the University of Augsburg. Alternatively, students may complete one of their internships with external partners, allowing them to tackle real-world challenges in Medical Informatics outside the university’s immediate chair groups (national, international, or industry).
