- Description/content
- Biomedical engineering is technology for life. It directly affects human health. Together with medical partners, it develops new methods for the detection and treatment of diseases and implements them in medical technology.
The TU Ilmenau has a long and successful tradition in the field of biomedical engineering. Already in the year of 1953, the Institute of Electromedical and Radiological Engineering was established at the former "Hochschule für Elektrotechnik" (HfE), which was the first university institute in Europe that introduced an on-campus biomedical engineering programme.
Key aspects of the Bachelor's programme include the following:
• substantiated engineering fundamentals
• outstanding methodical competence
• distinct understanding of current medical questions
• hands-on skills in medical engineering
• a research-centred course of study
