- Description/content
- With respect to the demographic evolution and new rising challenges such as autonomy and mobility in senior life or aspects of regenerative medicine, graduates are offered wide occupational fields of recent and popular jobs with great potential.
The Master's degree programme aims at generating professional and methodical competences that allow a comprehensive analysis of biomedical-technical relationships by using basic scientific knowledge. Concerning the aspect of lifelong learning, graduates will be able to steadily gain new and complex knowledge.
Combining specific knowledge in mechanical engineering, medicine, biology and science of sports and motricity helps to realise an interdisciplinary approach and allows the transfer of the basics and principles of engineering into biological and biomedical systems. Thus, the design and development of biomedical products that work on mechanical principles can be supported comprehensively and adapted on recent challenges. The curricular course offering includes both specific and interdisciplinary modules in the fields of materials science, mechanical engineering and construction, mechanics, human medicine and biology and medical device regulation.
Students are offered two different specialisation tracks within the course programme – endoprosthetics and exoprosthetics. All complex requirements with respect to the development, design, calculation, adaptation, installation and purposive improvements of sustainable medical devices will be addressed with four dedicated modules for each specialisation track to provide academic education and professional qualification within the chosen specialisation.
