Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical engineers combine a passion for engineering with medicine and life sciences. They develop new knowledge, materials, devices, tools, systems and methods for the (early) diagnosis, prevention and treatment of pathology to improve and guarantee health care and the quality-of-life of the individual and society.
Open Days
Each spring the graduation fair EVOLV. organised by the UGent Association, offers the opportunity to discover all possible options to continue studying or to start looking for a job (with more than 200 different companies).
For some programmes, there is a specific Open Day. If so, it will be announced here (at the latest Feb 15th).15th).

Admission for Students holding a Non-Flemish Degree
BSc in Biomedical Engineering: admission after assessment of individual application where the equivalence with BSc in Biomedical engineering programs at UGent or VUB is checked
BSc in Engineering: it may still be possible to enter via preparatory program after assessment. We basically want students to get at level with students taking our BSc in Biomedical engineering programs at UGent or VUB, so you can verify the expected requirements.
Information on admission requirements and the administrative procedure for admission on the basis of a diploma obtained abroad, can be found on the following page: www.ugent.be/prospect/en/administration/enrolment-or-registration.
Language requirements
Language requirements for this study programme differ from the required standard level for English taught study programmes as specified in the Ghent University Education and Examination Code:
English: TOEFL 580 (paper-based) - TOEFL 92 (internet-based) - TOEFL 237 (computer-based) - IELTS: 6.5
Flexible trajectories
Flexible trajectories refers to alternative ways of following our courses. It might mean that a course can be spread in time as to allow the combination of work and studying, or that students with special needs get the support they need to allow a successful study career.
An international experience
Students have the opportunity to study part of their curriculum abroad within the Erasmus+ framework. The student mobility window is in the second master, where students can opt for studying one semester or the complete second year abroad. Besides, there is also the possibility to take up a research or industry internship abroad.
