The Human Medicine master degree is the

second part of our Bologna-compliant me-

dical education programme and follows on

from our Health Sciences bachelor degree.

Besides providing preparatory scientific

training for further education and subse-

quent entry into the medical profession, the

programme is geared towards developing

the skills needed by independent practi-

tioners.

KEY FEATURES

› Integrated study of biomedical

engineering and health economics

› Practical training at Krems, St. Pölten

and Tulln university hospitals

› All-round individual supervision

› Specialisation in the Biomedical

Engineering, Health Care Management

or Applied Clinical Science elective

during the programme

The training you receive forms an excel-

lent foundation for careers in the medical

profession. Graduates will demonstrate a

high level of medical expertise, first-class

communication competences, the ability

to work cooperatively and interprofessio-

nally, as well as advanced interdisciplinary

communication and problem-solving skills.

CAREER PERSPECTIVES

After completing the Human Medicine pro-

gramme you will receive the title of Doctor

of Medicine (Dr. med.univ.), meaning that

you will be qualified to obtain a licence to

practice as a doctor. Specialisation during

the degree programme opens the door to

attractive careers in some of the most im-

portant fields of modern medicine, inclu-

ding biomedical engineering, health care

management and clinical research.
