The Master's degree programme in Hearing Technology and Audiology (H+A) at the University of Oldenburg offers students who have completed a Bachelor's degree in Hearing Technology and Audiology or a related degree programme a research-oriented education as a basis for a career in business or science.

Graduates of this degree programme have a clear understanding of the theoretical foundations of hearing technology and audiology and their practical application, as well as an insight into the methods, problems and results of the latest research in this field. They are able to assess theories and methods, procedural models, tools and systems according to scientific criteria and apply them to solve practical problems.
They have qualified knowledge of the scientific planning, practical implementation and statistical evaluation of audiological studies, principles of acoustics and (digital) signal and speech processing and can apply these in the development of audio systems (e.g. hearing aids, consumer electronics, studio acoustics, telecommunications) or manage their use.
They are familiar with the requirements of working in groups and presenting their own or others' work results convincingly. In addition, they have in-depth knowledge of the interdisciplinary specialisation in hearing technology and audiology.

The Master's degree programme in Hearing Technology and Audiology is mainly supported by the University of Oldenburg with the participation of the Jade University of Applied Sciences.

The Bachelor's degree programme is mainly supported by the Jade University of Applied Sciences Wilhelmshaven / Oldenburg / Elsfleth with the participation of the University of Oldenburg. The content of both degree programmes is aligned with the internationally visible research excellence of Oldenburg's hearing research(www.hoertech.de), which is housed in The Haus des Hörens, Marie-Curie-Str. 2 in 26129 Oldenburg.

Over the course of the three-semester Master's degree programme, a total of 90 credit points (CP) are earned in accordance with the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). The course content is taught through modules of usually 6 or 12 credit points, which are completed in the first and second semesters. The degree programme concludes with a six-month Master's thesis (30 CP) with a strong scientific focus, which should preferably be completed in one of the Institutes of the Hearing Technology and Audiology degree programme. The Hearing Technology and Audiology degree programme consists of the following modules:

The Master's thesis is a six-month project with a strong scientific focus, preferably to be carried out in one of the Institutes of the Hearing Technology and Audiology degree programme. You can find an overview of possible topics for your Master's thesis at
on the website of the Department of Medical Physics at the University of Oldenburg.

A four-semester Master's programme is offered for Bachelor's graduates who do not have an H+A Bachelor's degree. In this case, the programme is divided into a bridging semester (so-called zero semester) and three semesters. The bridging semester is a programme selected individually according to missing specialisations from different modules of the relevant Bachelor's degree programmes at the University of Applied Sciences and the University of Oldenburg.
