Medical informatics studies: For medical professionals and computer scientists

For medical professionals and IT specialists who work or would like to work in the field of medical informatics, first-class training has been available for several years to enable them to pursue this career. An MAS in Medical Informatics, for example, is one such course that provides all the necessary knowledge in a well-founded and practice-oriented manner to enable you as a graduate to implement and manage IT projects or departments in the field of medical informatics. The course provides you with broad knowledge in the fields of medicine and informatics and makes you a specialist in your company.

The MAS in Medical Informatics generally takes five semesters. However, it can be shortened by writing and completing your Master's thesis in the fourth semester, the last CAS semester. However, depending on your professional and personal workload, this shortening could be extremely demanding, so you should consider this very carefully. After all, you will not only be challenged in terms of time, the content of the Medical Informatics curriculum is also not to be sneezed at. You will acquire knowledge and skills in software product training, quality management, practice information systems, nursing informatics, computer system validation, ECT technology, legal aspects and many other areas.

Are you interested? Then you are in for exciting and challenging times, which you should definitely embark on with a reliable and experienced partner. You will find such a partner for a first-class degree course in medical informatics here at Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch.

Questions and answers

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

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.

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.

The Medical Informatics BA program consists of compulsory, compulsory elective and elective modules, all of which must comprise at least 180 ETCS credits. The following compulsory modules must be taken: Mathematics for Medical Informatics, Medical Statistics, Software Engineering and Design, Databases, Introduction to Programming, Networks, Foundations of Informatics & Informatics Systems, Programming Methods, Algorithms and Data Structures, Web and App Technologies, as well as Information Security, Interoperability, Clinical Trials, Healthcare and medical informatics, patient pathways and processes, hospital and practice organization, medical documentation and classification, e-health and telemedicine, anatomy and physiology, TQMi in hospital informatics, information systems in healthcare, quality management in healthcare, business administration in healthcare, and medicine and ethics. In addition, there are communication courses in the mother tongue and foreign languages, several courses in law, management, projects, seminars and for the Bachelor's thesis. You can obtain an up-to-date list of the compulsory modules as well as the elective and compulsory elective modules directly from the University of Applied Sciences via the contact form.

After successfully completing their studies, graduates receive a "Bachelor of Science in Medical Informatics" certificate.
