What you will learn

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, digital health 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 expert systems, neural networks, image processing and further applications of AI in healthcare technology and management. You deepen your knowledge of eHealth technologies, apps and robotics to consult, treat and support patients. You know how to develop health and learning games and learn about the importance of data protection, privacy and confidentiality regarding medical data. Modules on risk management, medical law, epidemiology and public health complement the curriculum and your computer science education.

 

YOUR CAREER PROSPECTS

Our innovative approach that pays off

The project- and skill-based approach of the B.Sc. Computer Science - Focus on Health 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:

• System/software developer
• Application/software developer
• System/application administrator
• Software and hardware sales specialist
• Interface specialist
• IT security specialist
• IT quality manager
• Web designer
• IT consultant
• IT service manager
• IT project manager

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.
