Key Points:
The English-language Master’s programme in Medical Sciences – Cardiovascular Research was designed as a preparatory year for a PhD in the field of cardiovascular research. The curriculum combines a thorough education in general aspects of the structure and function of the cardiovascular system with clinical insights into the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, as well as exposure to "wet and dry lab" basic and clinical work. In the first semester, theoretical and clinical contents as well as interdisciplinary competences are taught, while the second semester focuses on the independent preparation of a Master's thesis and thus on the various aspects of scientific work.
Module components cover theoretical and practical aspects, with a strong focus on hands-on training, from single cardiomyocyte contraction and action potential measurements, to Langendorff beating heart studies, advanced structure-function imaging of healthy and diseased hearts, derivation and evaluation of one's own stress electrocardiogram, and observing open-chest surgery.
In addition to broadening the knowledge and skills base, the course offers an introduction to prerequisites, opportunities, and consequences of medical activity, and it familiarises students with the ethical dimension of medical practice and research.

The English-language Master’s programme in Medical Sciences – Cardiovascular Research offers a broad and deep familiarisation with the cardiovascular system, and the opportunity to specialise in hands-on cardiovascular research.
The one-year curriculum is divided into two parts: the first consisting of a taught course to develop breadth and depth of understanding in the subject matter and advanced laboratory and clinical techniques; the second is dedicated to implementing an individual research project (= MSc thesis).
