International Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical Engineering is a broad multidisciplinary area, involving many sub-specialisations, varying from regenerative medicine to implant design and from PET-scan imaging to biosensors. A consortium of 6 universities has joined their knowledge and expertise. At least two universities have to be chosen, allowing the student a maximum freedom to create a master's programme tailored to his/her interest.
