First semester

• Free choices electives (18 ECTS) \

You can choose from: Machine learning for quantified self, Biomedical information systems engineering, Medical AI, Human-centered eHealth, Machine Learning and Reasoning for Health, Green lean Healthcare

The electives can be substituted by other relevant courses if approved by the Examinations Board of Medical Informatics.

First/second semester

• Scientific Research Project (42 EC)

Start your career smoothly by doing an internship of 6-12 EC in the first year, followed by an internship of around 42 EC in the second year.

This especially gives international students a unique opportunity to experience the Dutch Health ICT labor market. Students can choose from a range of internship positions offered by our contacts with Health ICT research institutes, businesses and other international universities such as those in the International Partnership of Health Informatics Education. The internship will be guided by an academic supervisor and must be finished with a scientific report.

You may choose to participate in an exchange semester to fulfill your master thesis work facilitated by another (international) university. The AMC took the lead in establishing an international network of 10 partner universities, each offering unique opportunities for such an exchange semester.

These partner universities are:

USA               

• University of Minnesota
• University of Utah
• University of Washington

Canada
