Deepen your mathematical foundations: You will learn about number theory, linear algebra, and the fundamentals of cryptography. Using mathematical proof techniques, you will analyze and solve problems in computer science.

Understand how the nervous system, organs and metabolism interact in the body: You get to know key organ systems such as the brain and nerves, lungs, kidneys and the digestive system and learn which diseases can occur there and how they are diagnosed and treated. You also gain an understanding of how medical staff use this knowledge to make diagnoses and care for patients in everyday clinical practice.

Understand how medical data is structured, recorded, and used: Learn how medical documentation is organized, how information is stored and retrieved in hospitals, and how standards such as ICD and SNOMED are applied. You will also explore how digital archiving and documentation systems work and how they are used to develop and implement practical software solutions for the healthcare sector.

Develop complex software: You build on the object-oriented programming concepts in Java introduced in Programming 1 and apply modern Java techniques to develop complex software independently and as part of a team.

Develop software systematically: You'll learn object-oriented analysis and design and will be able to implement the entire software development process—from modeling to testing to integration—in a practical way.
