About this programme

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Students interested in the Biomedical Systems Engineering major must apply for the Master's programme in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology . Once accepted and enrolled, they can choose one of the following five majors: Electrical Power Engineering, Micro- and Nanoelectronics, Systems and Automation, Communications Engineering, or Biomedical Systems Engineering . Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary area in which engineering techniques are applied to medical problems. Graduates with a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering and Information with a specialisation in Biomedical Systems Engineering will have acquired a high level of specialisation, a research-oriented view, and in-depth, domain-specific knowledge at a professional level in the areas of electrical engineering, information/communication technology, and engineering physiology. They will be able to apply engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology as well as understand medical instruments for diagnosis and therapy. The curriculum is designed to provide not only a general background in biomedical engineering but also a special focus on systems skills in electrical engineering, such as control systems, communication techniques, and the measurement or visualisation of biomedical systems for basis or clinical applications. The graduates will have a broad knowledge of signal processing for the acquisition, optimisation, and analysis of biomedical applicat
