RWTH Aachen University offers the Master of Science in Applied Health Informatics and Digital Medicine, a part-time program designed to prepare professionals to shape the digital transformation of healthcare. Developed with the University Hospital RWTH Aachen and the university’s Medical Faculty, the program combines medical and information technology expertise with practical learning. Students learn to acquire, combine, assess, and improve medical data, understand complex health information systems, and consider the ethical, legal, and social dimensions of medical informatics.

The four-semester, English-language degree uses a blended-learning format, with live online sessions and practical teaching in Aachen, organized in blocks two to three times per semester. Its 12 modules support working professionals seeking new skills and career opportunities in healthcare institutions, clinics, software companies, and research. The program also offers certificate courses for learners who want to broaden their applied health informatics knowledge without pursuing a full degree. Applicants need a relevant first degree or completed medical studies, at least one year of work experience in medicine or computer science, and English proficiency at B2 level.
