In October, 21 students started their Master’s degree in Biomedical Data Amalysis – the fifth intake since the programme, which is part of RESIST, was established. Among them are 14 women and seven men from the fields of medicine and biosciences. During the introductory week from 6 to 10 October at the MHH, the students had the opportunity to get to know their lecturers and each other.
The varied programme included team-building activities and the first two courses of the “Introduction to Data Science” and “Introduction to Data Analysis” modules. In addition, the new students took part in a joint welcome event for all Master’s programmes, at which President Prof. Hilfiker-Kleiner and Dean of Studies Prof. Mühlfeld, among others, gave a warm welcome.
There was also another event to kick off the semester, at which PD Dr. Thomas Jack, MHH Clinic for Paediatric Cardiology and Intensive Care Medicine, gave a keynote speech on the topic of artificial intelligence in paediatric intensive care medicine. Prof. Marschollek, who is responsible for the programme of the course together with Prof. Depledge, moderated this event. In addition to the new students, students from higher semesters, alumni and lecturers were also guests. Afterwards, a get-together with a buffet and drinks provided an opportunity to socialise and get to know each other.
The social programme was not neglected during this week either: the Biosciences Student Council and the AStA organised various events such as rallies, a bar evening and an MHH party, which further enriched the start of studies. RESIST wishes all new students a successful start and an exciting time at university! Further information on the four-semester Master’s programme can be found at: www.mhh.de/master-biomeddat.
