- Description/content
- IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Students interested in the “Biomedical Systems Engineering” major have to apply for the Master's degree programme in “Electrical Engineering and Information Technology”. Once accepted and enrolled, they can choose any of the five majors (Biomedical Systems Engineering, Communications Engineering, Electrical Power Engineering, Micro- and Nanoelectronics, Systems and Automation).
Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary area in which engineering techniques are applied to medical problems. Graduates with a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering and Information with a specialisation in Biomedical Systems Engineering will have acquired a high level of specialisation, a research-oriented view, and in-depth, domain-specific knowledge at a professional level in the areas of electrical engineering, information/communication technology, and engineering physiology. They will be able to apply engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology as well as understand medical instruments for diagnosis and therapy.
The curriculum is designed to provide not only a general background in biomedical engineering but also a special focus on systems skills in electrical engineering, such as control systems, communication techniques, and the measurement or visualisation of biomedical systems for basis or clinical applications. The graduates will have a broad knowledge of signal processing for the acquisition, optimisation, and analysis of biomedical applications for both clinical and research applications. System engineering and mathematical, statistical, multi-scale, computational modelling and optimisation form the theoretical basis of the field.
Typical research areas include organ systems physiology, medical imaging, measurement devices, robotics, learning and knowledge-based systems, and visualisation.
The graduates will be able:
• to take technical-scientific questions from practice, to understand the problems, to formulate them, and then communicate them to others
• to analyse engineering and technology questions and formulate solutions
• to understand the impact of design activities on the life cycle of products
• to adequately report results both in writing and verbally using current technical language and terminology
• to communicate adequately in their native language and in English
