Publication about the Bachelor Human Medicine at ETH Zurich
Bachelor of Human Medicine at the ETH Zurich. A Contribution to the Training of Tomorrow's Physicians.
With ever-changing lifestyles and an increasingly older but also more dynamic society, maintaining and improving health as well as improving treatment play a central role. At the same time, developments in bioinformatics, molecular biosciences and imaging techniques are revolutionising medicine. In order to fully exploit the new possibilities, for example in medical technology or personalised medicine, doctors with sound knowledge in several disciplines will be needed in the future. This is where the new Bachelor of Human Medicine from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich comes in since autumn 2017 and combines medical with technical and scientific aspects of human health. In addition to classical medical content, it also teaches topics from the bioinformatics and medical technology fields. Students continue their studies at one of the partner universities in Basel, Lugano or Zurich.
