Program Details

What You Can Expect in Our Master's Program

The master's degree program in Biomedical Engineering combines a wide range of interdisciplinary courses in engineering, computer science, and natural sciences. Graduates of various degree programs can build on their knowledge. Since both the bachelor's degree program and the master's degree program in Biomedical Engineering have the common profile "Informationalization and Digitalization in Biomedical Engineering," a sufficient foundation in mathematics and information technology is required for entry to the master's degree program.

Program Structure

The basic structure consists of the following subjects:

• Profiling Modules (42 CP): Students decide in which subject area they want to acquire their profiling. There are five available:
  • Biomedical Imaging and Signal Processing
  • Biomedical Robotics
  • Bioelectronics - Materials and Interfaces
  • Medical Product Development
  • Modeling and Simulations for Medicine
• Elective Modules (42 CP): Students can take elective modules.
• Interdisciplinary Qualifications (6 CP): Students can advance their personal development by selecting modules of their choice.
• Master's Thesis (30 CP)

Master's Thesis

The master's thesis is usually written at the end of the degree program. Students choose a topic in which they would like to deepen their scientific knowledge. The institutes of the KIT Department have numerous offers for this.

Internship

The study program does not include a compulsory internship. Students can complete a voluntary internship during their studies.

Make Your Studies International

Students have various options for integrating a stay abroad into their master's degree course. For example, they can study at a foreign university of their choice for one or two semesters via Erasmus+ or as a freemover.

Career Prospects

The master's degree program in Biomedical Engineering provides students with the essential skills in the professional field of medical engineering. The medical technology industry offers students the following prospects:

• As a development engineer, students will realize innovative ideas and new processes.
• As a specialist in regulatory affairs or quality management, students will ensure the safety of patients and facilitate the approval of new procedures.
• In product management, students will understand the medical challenges of the future and derive the requirements for new products from them.
• In project management, students will coordinate a team of specialists and ensure that innovation projects run smoothly.
