Master's degree in Applied Technologies for Medical Diagnostics

Application technologists for medical diagnostic products

Master's degree for graduates of the bachelor's degree programs Radiology Technology - Biomedical Analytics - Medical Technology

The joint master's program "Applied Technologies for Medical Diagnostics" at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria and the University of Applied Sciences Health Professions Upper Austria covers a new professional field at the interface between technology and natural sciences as well as technology-oriented health professions. It closes the gap between development engineering and the application of medical products.

The target group for this master's program are biomedical analysts, radiology technologists and medical engineers with a bachelor's degree.

The course provides in-depth technical knowledge for medical diagnostics, which is required for project planning and product management in the legally regulated environment of medical devices and IVDs. The technical focus is on new detection methods and those innovative products that will be shaped by the innovation dimensions of digitization, new materials and biosignal analysis in the future. Graduates apply their know-how in quality and risk management, for clinical evaluations and performance assessments or in medical device development. Their expertise is also in demand when new products are brought "onto the market", in market surveillance or in in-house applications of diagnostic medical devices. Dealing with the regulations is practiced in the context of practical tasks.
