Course description
The English-language Master’s programme in MSc Medical Sciences - Cardiovascular Research serves as a preparatory year for those aiming to pursue a PhD in cardiovascular research. The curriculum offers a comprehensive education on the structure and function of the cardiovascular system, paired with clinical insights into diagnosing and treating cardiovascular diseases. Students gain exposure to both 'wet- and dry-lab' basic and clinical work. In the first semester, the focus is on theoretical knowledge, clinical content, and interdisciplinary skills. The second semester shifts towards the independent preparation of a Master's thesis, emphasizing various aspects of scientific work. The programme includes both theoretical and practical components, with a strong emphasis on hands-on training. For instance, students will learn to derive and evaluate their own stress electrocardiograms, measure single cardiomyocyte contractions and action potentials, conduct histological examinations of healthy and diseased hearts, and observe open-chest surgeries. This structure ensures that students not only understand the theoretical underpinnings but also gain practical experience, preparing them thoroughly for advanced research in cardiovascular science.
