Biomedical Engineering
Master
Are there less painful and less harmful methods to detect breast cancer? Can you pave the way for personalised medicine and animal-free drug testing by developing mini organs-on-a-chip that can mimic an actual human organ? And what about developing an exoskeleton to train paralysed patients to walk?
This Master’s teaches you to research, design and develop medical innovations so you can contribute to the improvement of diagnostics, treatment, and rehabilitation, but also to prevention and a better quality of life. You will combine engineering skills in disciplines such as chemistry, physics, nanotechnology, electrical engineering and/or mechanical engineering with in-depth knowledge of biology and medicine. After graduation, you may find a job in the health technology or healthcare industry. You could join an R&D department, work as a product specialist, opt for a career as a researcher, or start up your own business.
