About this programme

Biomedical Engineering is a dynamic multidisciplinary scientific field that combines Medicine and Engineering with Natural Sciences like Biology, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. At RWTH Aachen University, this Master's programme is the only programme that ends with an independent degree in Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering (BME). The major goal of this research-based Master’s programme is to apply engineering principles and design concepts to medicine to solve human health problems through early detection, diagnosis, therapy as well as prevention of diseases. The curriculum is designed to provide not only a general background in Biomedical Engineering but also a specific Aachen profile with regard to the current research in the Biomedical Engineering department. Focal points of this profile are: Medical Imaging Techniques, including the modules Medical Imaging, Image Guided Therapy and Theranostics and Image Processing and Handling Tissue Engineering, including the module Cell Culture and Tissue Engineering Materials Science, including the modules Materials Science and Processing, Advanced Biomaterials – Hard Tissue Implants and Prostheses & 3D Bioprinting Artificial Organs, including the module on Artificial Organs with focus on Heart, Kidney, Lung and Liver An absolutely unique selling point of the Master's programme is the parallel teaching of all four focus areas which offers students a broad spectrum of engineering and medical technology – thereby improving
