Overview

The Precision Medicine Diagnostics degree programme offered by Furtwangen University was designed to meet the need for experts in the field of molecular diagnostics. In the first semester, we teach you the basics of applied medical diagnostics in theory and practice. Building on this, you can set your own priorities in your research project in the second semester that correspond to your scientific interests – because in PMD we place particular emphasis on independent research based on solid scientific foundations. The master's thesis in the third and final semester offers a further opportunity to develop your ideas for research or application.
