About the studyprogram

Research-oriented

Students who study Medical Computer Science at the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg benefit from an accredited bachelor degree based on recognized scientific standards.

Professional Qualifying

A university bachelor degree provides you with all the foundations required to start a professional career in the area of medical IT and continue educating yourself on your own.

Bachelor-Thesis

Your first scientific work that you create under supervision. You work on various topics and develop a prototype.

Software Systems

Learn the development of complex application software with great demands on correctness and maintainability.

Medical Knowledge

Learn the medical foundations required to develop and analyse IT systems for the medical sector.

Theoretical Knowledge

Learn the basic mathematical foundations required to design and analyse a computer system.

Medical informatics is an interdisciplinary study program that combines knowledge from computer science with knowledge from medicine. Where there is a theoretical boundary between medicine and IT, medical informatics builds bridges between the two disciplines. For a medicine that serves the patient in the best possible way. For a research that overcomes boundaries.
