Programme specific

The Master's degree course in Cardiovascular Science is a consecutive, English-language, four-semester, full-time course which, thanks to its modular structure, includes a self-contained and comprehensive curriculum on cardiovascular scientific issues.

Study programme

Building on a bachelor's degree in natural sciences, students should be prepared for further content by being taught the necessary basics in detail. This content includes clinical aspects, which are essential for understanding translational research, as well as modern scientific approaches.

Practical orientation

A central feature of the course is its strong practical orientation, which is intended to give students an insight into the everyday life of a scientist and also enables them to gain an initial insight into various topics in the field of cardiovascular research.

Perspective

After the in-depth Master's thesis, students are optimally prepared for a subsequent career in cardiovascular research in academia and industry as well as in related professional fields.

Language skills

Applicants who are not native English speakers must demonstrate an appropriate level of English language proficiency through acceptable scores on an internationally recognized test (e.g. TOEFL, IELTS, APIEL, CPE). Applicants who have been taught in English in the majority of their courses (college or university) do not need to submit scores from a standardized test. However, it is recommended to include an official statement (signed by a college or university official, such as the dean or registrar's office) indicating that English was the medium of instruction.
