On these pages you will find information on the individual courses of study in which our institute teaches Medical Informatics. An overview of all courses can be found in the online course catalogue of the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen (UniVZ). Usually we offer our study modules in an annual cycle, so that there is a regular offer of courses in each summer or winter semester.
Detailed information on current teaching activities and teaching materials for the participants of our courses are available in the campus and learning management system Stud.IP.
Since we cannot cover all fields of study ourselves, we cooperate closely with the respective faculties. Therefore, you will not apply for a study place directly at our institute, but at the respective supporting faculty. However, we will be happy to provide you with advice on orientation at any time.

Medical Informatics as a major field of study
Bachelor
Admitted Bachelor students choose a major field of study after completing their first semester. If you are considering to start a Bachelor's programme in Applied Computer Science in Göttingen and choose the major in Medical Informatics, we are of course available to advise you regardless of the admission procedure. Please contact us by e-mail for an initial consultation.
Master
Even if you already hold a Bachelor's degree and would now like to start a Master's programme in Göttingen, the respective Faculty is responsible for the admission procedure (see above). In the Master's programme, you can also choose one of the various specialisations. In the specialisation Medical Informatics, we expect you to have previous knowledge of the subject; you must have a basic level of knowledge in order to be able to deal with the specialised questions of the Master's programme.
If you have good previous knowledge of computer science but no knowledge of Medical Informatics, we will develop a personal study plan with you based on your previous knowledge. In this way you can acquire missing basics parallel to your studies.
