MA/MS in Biomedical Engineering

The master's programme gives advanced training in biomedical engineering, with specialised knowledge, skills and methods. At RWTH it is the only independent master's degree in the field rather than a specialisation within another engineering discipline. The standard period of study is 4 semesters, worth 120 ECTS credits, with teaching in English. Courses begin in the winter semester. The programme is taught at RWTH Aachen University in Aachen and builds on an earlier degree. The module structure and examination rules are set out in the official examination regulations, which applicants should read before applying. Graduates can enter professional practice or continue toward research. Applicants need a first university degree that satisfies the requirements of the examination regulations, and the first semester is under open admission (zulassungsfrei).
