The interdisciplinary Master’s degree programme in Medical Information Sciences builds on our Bachelor’s degree programme of the same name. It deepens knowledge of the fundamentals by offering a wide variety of courses from computer science, medical information sciences, and medicine, enabling students to individually specialise. A broad spectrum of internships offers the opportunity to apply what has been learned in either research or practice-oriented environments.

From your country
General requirements for master's applicants. Rules change — confirm with the university and your local German mission.
🇮🇳 Applying from India
- An APS India certificate is mandatory before your visa appointment — processing takes weeks, so start it the day you decide to apply.
- Budget for the blocked account (€11,904 for one year in 2026 — verify the current amount with the German Embassy).
- IELTS/TOEFL is typically required; some universities accept a Medium-of-Instruction letter — check the official program page.
🇳🇬 Applying from Nigeria
- Proof of funds is usually a blocked account; open it early — transfers and verification take time.
- WAEC/NECO results are assessed via uni-assist for most universities; a Studienkolleg year may be required for bachelor's entry.
- Visa appointment slots in Lagos and Abuja book out months ahead — book as soon as you have an admission letter.
🇻🇳 Applying from Vietnam
- APS Vietnam certification applies to Vietnamese applicants — schedule the document check before university deadlines.
- Most universities want IELTS 6.0–6.5 for English-taught programs; requirements vary by program.
- Plan finances around the blocked account plus health insurance — both are checked at the visa stage.
🇧🇩 Applying from Bangladesh
- Document verification is strict: keep certificates, transcripts, and bank papers consistent and genuine — discrepancies sink applications.
- The blocked account is the standard proof of funds. You do not need an admission letter to open one, so set it up alongside your applications.
- Apply to several programs in parallel — visa processing in Dhaka can be slow, and an early admission letter buys you time.
Living in Augsburg
A 2,000-year-old Roman city of canals and Renaissance streets, with two universities and Munich close by.
Augsburg was founded by the Romans in 15 BC, and you can still read it in the streets. The old town runs on canals that carried drinking water and power for centuries; since 2019 that water system is UNESCO World Heritage.
