Biomedical Science - Bachelor

Humans - Medicine - Technology

Their world is the laboratory: biomedical analysts provide medicine with crucial information for diagnosis, therapy and therapy monitoring. In doing so, they have high-tech tools at their disposal, the use of which requires extensive knowledge and professionalism. Both areas have a high priority in the "Biomedical Analytics" degree programme - students receive training in a health profession with excellent employment prospects in Austria and the EU.

The Bachelor of Science degree program is offered in German language.
Therefore the certificate of Language Competency Evaluation German C1 is required.
