To be admitted to the Bachelor's degree program in Medical Informatics, applicants need either an apprenticeship with Federal VET Diploma and Federal Vocational Baccalaureate in a related profession or a non-related profession with a one-year internship in a field related to medical informatics. Persons with a Federal Vocational Baccalaureate but without a Federal Vocational Baccalaureate can be admitted to the Federal Vocational Baccalaureate Examination (EBMP) after individual preparation and thus meet the admission requirements for the course. Persons with a Baccalaureate or Specialized Baccalaureate can also be admitted after one year of qualified practical training, as can applicants with a Federal VET Diploma and Advanced Federal Diploma of Higher Education (Achtung: Engl.) and a CHE diploma in a related field. The University of Applied Sciences will inform you about the current admission requirements.

As a full-time course, the Bachelor's degree in Medical Informatics takes 6 semesters; as a part-time course, it takes 9 semesters.

Yes, there is also a postgraduate course leading to a Master of Advanced Studies MAS in Medical Informatics. This Master's program consists of the certificate courses CAS Research and Project Management, CAS Design and Risk Management in Medical Informatics, CAS Requirements Engineering and Validation in Medical Informatics, CAS Procurement and Logistics in Medical Informatics and the Master's thesis. Other CAS from the fields of management, business informatics and computer science are also possible and can be exchanged with the above-mentioned courses, with the exception of the first module in Research and Project Management.

It is not possible to study for a Bachelor CHE in Medical Informatics while working. However, you can aim to study part-time, which means you will have to invest fewer hours per semester and therefore per week in lectures, courses and self-study than in full-time study, giving you more time to devote to a reduced professional activity or your family.
