Which bachelor’s degrees are eligible for the Master's Program in Medical Informatics?

Currently, students with a bachelor’s degree in Medical Informatics or Bioinformatics can be admitted to the Master's Program in Medical Informatics according to the published pre-requisites.

Students with a bachelor’s degree in Medical Sciences or Computer Science may also apply; however, they will be required to attend additional, pre-defined compulsory modules in Computer Science Basics or Medical Science Basics respectively, in order to compensate any missing skills. When considering an application, we generally recommend a strong affinity for Computer Science and programming skills. Medical knowledge coupled with skills, for instance, in Biostatistics and Python can also be helpful.
