About this programme

The Master’s programme 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 as well as engineering fields such as the automotive industry and process engineering. 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 reviews, specialised 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 programme provides a solid foundation for students
