Program Overview

Master Biomedical Engineering Program

The Master Biomedical Engineering program at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is a two-year program that offers students the opportunity to specialize in a specific area of biomedical engineering.

Program Structure

The program consists of two profiles: the research profile and the free profile.

• The research profile is designed for students who want to pursue a career in research and development.
• The free profile is designed for students who want to pursue a career in industry or other fields.

Research Profile

The first year of the research profile consists of:

• Specialization elective courses (25 EC)
• Free space (15 EC)
• External internship (20 EC) The second year consists of an graduation project (60 EC).

Free Profile

The first year of the free profile consists of:

• Specialization elective courses (25 EC)
• Free space (15 EC)
• External internship (20 EC) The second year consists of free space (15 EC) and a graduation project (45 EC).

Specialization Elective Courses

The specialization elective courses provide students with in-depth knowledge in a specific area of biomedical engineering. These courses prepare students for the research project or internship.

External Internship

The external internship is a three-month internship that takes place outside the university. The internship provides students with hands-on experience in a research project or industry setting.

Graduation Project

The graduation project is an individual research project that students work on under the supervision of a mentor. The project is designed to demonstrate students' ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practical problems.

Research Groups

Students can choose from a variety of research groups, including:

• Soft Tissue Engineering and Mechanobiology
• Modelling in Mechanobiology
• Immunoengineering
• Biointerface Science of Regenerative Medicine
• Orthopedic Biomechanics
• Cardiovascular Biomechanics
• Ultrasound Imaging
• Medical Image Analysis
• Computational Biology
• Synthetic Biology
• Systems Biology and Metabolic Diseases
• Biomedical Materials
• Chemical Biology
• Protein Engineering
• Molecular Biosensing
• Nanoscopy for Nanomedicine
• Bio-Organic Chemistry
• Precision Medicine

Each research group has its own specific research focus and expertise, providing students with a wide range of options to choose from.
