Structure of the Biomedical Engineering master's programme

In the consecutive Biomedical Engineering master's programme, academic training is continued in a multidisciplinary environment. Currently, there are three areas of specialisation, organised according to key technologies in Biomedical Engineering ("Sensors & Systems" and "Signals & Data") and health applications ("Sustainable Health Technologies").

The master's programme begins in autumn and spring and is offered bilingually in German and/or English. Students graduate after achieving 120 ECTS (credit points) and successfully defending a master's thesis.

In order to enable lateral entrants (for example B.Sc. from other Engineering disciplines, Physics or Computer Science) and international students without a background in human physiology and anatomy to join the programme, human medicine modules can be completed in the first semester to cover the knowledge gap.

Study objectives

The work of the biomedical engineer focuses on solving biomedical challenges using technical means. The BMT master's programme is research-oriented and builds on the Biomedical Engineering bachelor's programme. The aim of the programme is to provide qualified education in Medical Engineering at the interface between Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Health Sciences in order to be able to make independent and innovative contributions to research and development in Biomedical Engineering. The programme provides a sound knowledge of Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Medicine, Psychology and Biology with a focus on the research topics of the involved institutes.

Degree

You will receive the degree "Master of Science" (M.Sc.) in "Biomedical Engineering" from Ulm University.

Career opportunities

Admission

The master's programme begins in the autumn/winter and spring/summer semesters and has no restricted admission if the basic entrance requirements for engineering degrees are met. Students who have not completed the fundamentals of human biology in their bachelor's can provide proof of these competences within the 1st semester.
