The Biomedical Data Science - Master is aimed at graduates with a Bachelor's degree in biosciences (e.g. biology, biochemistry, biomedicine) or in a comparable biosciences degree program, as well as graduates of veterinary or human medicine studies.

There are currently 20 places available in each academic year, which are allocated via the university's own admission procedure.

Admissions for the first semester are only possible for the winter semester of each year.

Criteria that must be met in order to be able to submit an application

All students who have applied and, according to the decisions of the admissions committee, have the prospect of a place on the course will be invited to take this test.

The approx. 90-minute test (multiple choice on a laptop) tests basic skills required for the Master's degree course in Biomedical Data Science.
The results will be used as an additional criterion for admission (see admission regulations). The aim of the test is to provide a standardized indicator for all applicants for the grading standards, which vary considerably between different study programmes.

Participation in the knowledge test is compulsory!

Information event for applications

In the run-up to the knowledge test, an online information event will be held for the invited applicants, in which lecturers from the study programs will give you an insight into the fields of work of the participating Facilities or Institutions and the modules of the study program.

The regulations for access and admission to the consecutive Master's degree program in Biomedical Data Science at the MHH can be found here.

Please note the following information and recommendations before deciding to study with us:

• It is basically a full-time course of study with the corresponding workload, which can be equalized by individual study planning to such an extent that the course is compatible with a professional activity to a certain extent. In addition, the "blended learning" concept of many modules makes it possible to study from any location and at any time. If you are unsure whether your job is compatible with your studies, please contact us in advance for an individual consultation.
• Please note that in addition to the flexible online learning content, there are some fixed dates that you must attend: Attendance days at the MHH, weekly online seminars, internships and Master's thesis in the respective Institutes.
• In interactive online modules, weekly tasks must be completed and submitted in interdisciplinary groups.
• You are automatically registered for all module examinations. You can deregister from modules up to three weeks before the start of the semester at the latest. It is not possible to deregister later!
• You should have a high degree of self-organization, personal responsibility and motivation in order to successfully complete your studies.
