Health is a fundamental human need.
The Biomedical Engineering interdisciplinary
master degree programme,
which is offered by the FH Aachen in
cooperation with the Research Centre
Jülich, as well as selected international
universities and research institutes, is a
response to this need employing state-ofthe-art
methods.
It combines quantitative, analytical
and integrative methods from the molecular
level up to the complete organism.
This spectrum of methods broadens
the understanding of basic biological
processes and makes possible an innovative
approach to the prevention, diagnosis
and treatment of disease.
The masters degree programme
prepares graduates to transfer and apply
engineering concepts to scientific and practical
problems of biology and medicine.
With a specialisation in one of five
concentrations (artificial organs and
cardiac and vascular technology, biomechanics,
biophysics and medical physics,
chemical sensor technology, and biosensor
technology) in addition to medical
information technology, graduates can
choose to enter the medical technology
industry or start their own company,
or they can make a career in scientific
research.
As a result of progressive developments
in the area of modern technology,
in future the demand for ever betterqualified
medical engineers will only
continue to grow, offering our graduates
excellent professional career prospects.
This masters degree programme offers
graduates of the Biomedical Technology
Bachelors Degree Programme immersion
in subject-specific knowledge and deeper
understanding of medical-related subject
matter and current medical issues. The
courses take place exclusively in English,
which greatly improves your professional
opportunities and facilitates your
access to international business, in which
working, negotiating and communicating
in English is required.
