Advancing digitalisation is permeating more and more areas of our lives. The use of innovative, digital solutions is also advancing in healthcare. Medical documentation is becoming increasingly digitalised, health-related data is being generated in large quantities in a variety of places thanks to new technologies, including portable ones, and intelligent data analysis methods are increasingly enabling the computer-based detection of critical values and the implementation of personalised therapies.

Digital technologies can make a valuable contribution to improving healthcare, but are also changing medical work in healthcare and research. As a result, there is a growing need for highly qualified specialists who are available to develop, use and support these medical information technologies and methods.

The"Medical Computing Science" specialisation teaches the skills required to use the methods and tools of Computing Science in the medical domain. This includes the ability to access, process, store and provide medical data and information as well as the targeted development and implementation of innovative technologies and (software) systems to improve healthcare. You will continuously learn how to deal with the special challenges in this sensitive, interdisciplinary field of application.

The specialisation offers a future-proof foundation for academic appointments in the healthcare sector, in medical-technical research and in the medical and healthcare industry in the private sector.
