Biomedical Engineering
Study specialization
The Master’s program in Biomedical Engineering focuses on the interdisciplinary collaboration of engineering, natural sciences, and medicine to develop advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Students gain comprehensive theoretical and practical knowledge in imaging techniques, signal processing, and Image analysis, with a strong emphasis on applications in medical technology, but also relevant in other engineering fields like automobile industry and process technology.
Students explore modules such as Tomographic Imaging, Ultrasound Imaging, Digital and Statistical Signal Processing, Biomedical Systems, and Image Processing. They gain expertise in electromagnetic and acoustic wave fields, modelling and simulations, sensor technology, measurement instrumentation and control engineering, stochastic signal processing, image reconstruction and processing, pattern recognition and machine/deep learning, and information technology.
Through the Master’s seminar and practical training, students engage in scientific literature review, Specialized knowledge acquisition, and the application of engineering principles to address medical needs. They practice critical reflection, systematic concept implementation, and the development of innovative solutions. The international academic environment offers students the opportunity to gain intercultural work experience, enhancing their soft skills, and preparing them for a global career. This program provides a solid foundation for students aiming to work in medical engineering research and development, preparing them to address critical health challenges through early detection, accurate diagnosis, effective therapy, and disease prevention for impactful careers in improving human health and well-being.
Graduates are well-prepared to tackle complex technical and scientific problems in various industries, also beyond medical technology, e. g., automotive, and process engineering, or to pursue a PhD to become independent researchers in the respective fields. They are equipped to independently analyze, solve, and document research and development challenges, using current technical language and terminology to communicate their findings effectively.
