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 ("Mental 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 (BSc from other Engineering disciplines, Physics or Computer Science) and international students without a background in Human Medicine to join the programme, the first semester is designed in such a way that the Human Medicine topics can be completed without additional credits. Only one additional credit point must be invested if the concepts of human research such as ethics, Good Clinical Practice (GCP), Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) also need to be completed.
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 focus of the disciplines.
Degree
You will receive the degree "Master of Science" (M.Sc.) in "Biomedical Engineering" from Ulm University.
Admission
The master's programme begins in the autumn/winter and spring/summer semesters and has no restricted admission.
First-year students who have not completed the fundamentals of human biology in their bachelor's can provide proof of this within 2 semesters. These credit points can be recognised as supplementary credits.
Admission statutes
Enrolment for the M.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering at Ulm University is possible from spring 2025. Information for applicants
