MSc Medical Informatics
Medical University of Vienna
Course Overview
MedUni Wien's MSc in Medical Informatics is a joint programme with TU Wien, taught at the largest medical school in the German-speaking world. The 2-year (120 ECTS) English-taught Master's sits at the intersection of medicine, data science, and software engineering — covering clinical decision support, electronic health records, medical image processing, bioinformatics, telemedicine, and health-data governance. Students gain hands-on access to the Allgemeines Krankenhaus (AKH) clinical systems, one of Europe's largest hospitals, and to Vienna's strong digital-health research base.
Sri Lankan applicants — computer science, IT, biomedical engineering, and health-science graduates — choose MedUni Wien for: an English-medium credential that bridges healthcare and technology, very low Austrian public-university tuition (€1,480/year), and Austria's open post-study pathway. As Sri Lanka digitises hospital records and the Health Information Management System (HIMS), this expertise is directly relevant. The MSc suits those targeting clinical informatics, e-health systems, health-data analytics, and medical software roles.
