In recent years, Medical Engineering has gained in significance and has proven to be a recession-proof and innovative sector. We are all getting older and healthcare – and medical progress – require competent, well-trained specialists. With our consecutive Master's degree program Medical Devices - Research and Development (MMD), you can make a contribution to medical progress and take on responsibility for people's future and health by developing and improving medical equipment.
The degree program is structured in three semesters and follows on from a successfully-completed Bachelor’s degree or Diploma. It aims to prepare you for challenging roles in science, research and development as well as in related areas. The course comprises the module groups “Development of Medical Products”, “Engineering Science”, “Medical Engineering”, “Simulation and Modeling” and “Management”. Depending on your preferences and previous experience, you can adapt your course individually with a project and by selecting elective modules to further your knowledge in a particular direction. The laboratory and project work for the course are incorporated into industrial and research projects. This ensures that the degree program stays closely-aligned with the latest research. Quality management of teaching and research and regular evaluations guarantee your education will be of a high standard.
