About the Program

Biomedical technology (BMT) is technology for life. It works directly for the well-being of people. Its aim is to research and develop technology-oriented methods and systems for the early detection, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of diseases. BMT is a multidisciplinary field of science at the interface between medicine and technology with extraordinarily high development dynamics. Current studies assign it a place among the top ten technologies of the 21st century. The Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering is a consecutive research-oriented university degree program that builds on a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering or other engineering degrees and qualifies students for a professional career in the medical technology industry, in clinics or in public authorities. The aim of the research-oriented Master's degree program in Biomedical Engineering is to train graduates who are equipped with sound basic engineering knowledge, excellent methodological skills, a strong understanding of current medical issues and practical medical technology knowledge. The BMT Master's degree program lays the foundations for a subsequent doctorate. As part of the double Master's program with the University of Technology of Malaysia (UTM), students can obtain a double degree.
