Bachelor Biomedical Engineering

The Biomedical Engineering program at TU/e trains students to build bridges between science and the latest healthcare technology. With a strong focus on societal challenges, students combine knowledge from biology, physics, chemistry, and mathematics with engineering.

Program Details

• ECTS points: 180
• Education type: Bachelor program
• Duration: Three years
• Language: Dutch and English
• Degree: Bachelor of Science

Admission Requirements

• A VWO diploma with Mathematics B, Physics, and Chemistry is required.
• An affinity for technology is also necessary.
• A study choice check must be completed before starting the program.
• Because the program is partially taught in Dutch, a Dutch language requirement applies in addition to the English language requirement.

Program Structure

The first year provides a solid, broad foundation. Students then follow one of two core programs: Biomedical Engineering (BME) or Medical Sciences and Technology (MST). Both programs combine natural sciences and technical subjects but have different emphases. BME focuses on the engineering side, with technology as the starting point, while MST delves deeper into the biomedical background of diseases, using technology as a tool.
