Programme Profile
Digital tools are reshaping how hospitals operate, how patients receive care, and how health data moves between systems. From telemedicine rollouts to AI-assisted diagnostics, healthcare organizations across Germany and beyond are actively searching for professionals who understand both the technology and the clinical environment it serves. The B.Sc. Digital Health was built to meet that demand.
What sets this programme apart is the way it brings different disciplines together under one roof. You will learn alongside a small cohort, guided by faculty members who work at the intersection of medicine, information technology, and healthcare law. The university's cooperation with Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin (ukb) takes theory out of the lecture hall and into real clinical settings — through access to the Brain Cloud platform and bedside teaching sessions where you observe digital health tools in action.
One point worth highlighting: this is not a computer science degree. You will not need any prior programmeming experience, and coding is not part of the curriculum. The focus is on understanding, managing, and implementing digital health solutions within healthcare organizations — a profile that fills a growing gap in the job market between technical developers and clinical staff.
Graduates who want to take their career further can move directly into the M.Sc. Digital Health, qualifying for leadership roles and doctoral research.
“The future of healthcare is digital. Those who want to shape that future need more than technical understanding — they need the ability to think across disciplines, building bridges between medicine, technology, and regulation.”
Prof. Dr. med. Philipp Lacour
Programme Director, Digital Health, Health Innovation University
