Biomedical Engineering (BME)

Course Overview

The Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering program at the FH Aachen - University of Applied Sciences prepares students to apply engineering concepts to scientific and practical problems in biology, medicine, and health care. The first Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering course started in 2001. Each year about 30 students start in the program. The masters program is taught completely in English and meets the high standards of the internationally recognized Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree. The program is two years (four semesters) and concludes with a masters thesis. Most students typically spend two to two and a half years completing the program. Our instruction methods include problem-based approaches and integrated team work. By offering modules in business and management, research planning and scientific writing students obtain skills necessary for their future success. Biomedical engineers with experience in clinical fields find highly paid positions with medical technology companies as engineers, consultants, or as managers. Biomedical engineers work predominantly in the medical technology industry, in hospitals, sanatoriums, in doctor's offices and laboratories. In addition, graduates find positions in manufacturing analytical devices, testing laboratories, government institutions, universities and research. Qualified engineers with good language skills are needed all over the world.
