Program Overview

Biomedical Engineering Master's Program

The master's program in Biomedical Engineering is designed to deepen students' knowledge and teach specialized skills and understanding in the area of Biomedical Engineering, preparing them for a profession as a Biomedical Engineer.

Objectives

The program aims to enable students to solve problems and describe solutions in models, set up, conduct, and evaluate scientific experiments in Biomedical Engineering, and link analysis, design, and realization. Students will also contribute to the scientific deepening in the area of Biomedical Engineering by developing fundamental knowledge.

Learning Goals

The exact learning goals of the program include:

• Knowledge and understanding: In-depth biomedical engineering in a coherent set of specialties, building on basic knowledge acquired in the Bachelor's phase, and providing a basis or opportunity for originality in developing or applying ideas in this specialization.
• Apply knowledge and understanding: Applying and integrating advanced mathematics, sciences, and engineering knowledge to model and solve complex biomedical problems in new and unfamiliar environments.
• Making judgements: Conducting scientific research in areas of biomedical engineering and technology relevant to the advancement of knowledge and insight into fundamental and applied aspects of health and disease.
• Communicate: Bridging the gap between complex fundamental and applied research in biomedical engineering and medical (life) sciences by demonstrating effective communication in written and verbal form in Dutch and English.
• Learning skills: Studying international scientific research and recognizing the need for, and engaging in, life-long learning at the MSc+ level in a manner that may be largely self-directed or autonomous.
