Interventional Cardiovascular Medicine

The coursework consists of three modules per semester (10 credits each) and a research thesis (30 credits). Our consultant cardiologists and professors have designed assignments which develop in-depth knowledge of the field.



Course modules cover coronary artery disease (CAD), CAD diagnostics and treatments, structural heart disease, vascular intervention and medical device innovation.



The course is taken online as a full-time masters degree taken over a twelve-month period (September to August). The year is divided into two teaching semesters (September to December and January to April). Students will be graded based on continuous assessment and research thesis.
