📘 Program Overview

Medical Care (B.Sc.) prepares you for modern healthcare by combining medical fundamentals with practical competence in patient communication, practice organisation, and healthcare-oriented management.

The programme is offered as Campus-Studium+ (campus sessions plus selected digital live teaching) and includes optional focus through elective modules (for example in paediatrics, internal medicine and outpatient surgical medicine, neurology, and pharmacology). You graduate with a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) that is stated as nationally and internationally recognised.
