Program Description:

Studying health informatics is a way of learning how to improve modern healthcare through efficient management of information and knowledge. During your education, you will study and apply methods and techniques for the collection, management and evaluation of medical information.

You will select either a clinical or a technical specialisation. While the former choice allows you to acquire knowledge about how to lead processes of change in the healthcare services using IT, the latter choice will give you the opportunity to delve more deeply into advanced methodology. Independent of which specialisation you choose, you will be able to apply the acquired knowledge to authentic case studies, which will allow you to both gain experience and contribute to current research. Upon completion of the programme, you might choose to continue with research or take a job as a project manager, IT manager, software expert, process analyst, evaluator, instructor, IT architect or systems engineer.

With the aim of achieving safer and high quality care provision, modern healthcare is critically dependent on thorough analysis of information needs and refinement of information handling and clinical processes. If you have a background in healthcare or engineering/systems development and would like to take part in shaping the future of healthcare, this programme will suit you!
