Biomedical Engineering

In the specialization Biomedical Engineering, we deal with medical products and procedures closely interacting with the human body and thus with the biological system. This includes among others miniaturized implants inserted into the body via catheters as well as methods for recording signals from our physiological system.

In our specialization, we put emphasis on providing students with in-depth theoretical knowledge as well as the ability to put this knowledge into practice in relevant research & development fields. On the way to a substantial understanding of the interaction between technical and biological systems, we make use of physical principles as well as numerical and in-vitro models depicting the anatomy and physiological processes of human organs. We combine lectures with practical work, with students carrying out design work and tests independently and in groups.

It is our primary objective to endow our students with competences enabling them to apply their engineering skills in the development of diagnostic and therapeutic technologies in their future careers. While they focus on technologies and design solutions on the one hand, they understand on the other hand the language of biology and medicine in a highly exciting, interdisciplinary and promising research field.
