Enrolling for this plan is also possible having completed the Preparatory Programme Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering.
The multidisciplinary programme Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering enhances the scientific background and bridges the gap between medical knowledge and technology. The global programme is worth 120 ECTS. Students can choose between 5 different specialisations ('profiles').
- Radiation Physics
- Biomechanics and Biomaterials
- Sensors and Medical Devices
- Neuro-engineering
- Generic profile
The 1st year of the master programme (= the 'starting plan') is worth 60 ECTS and consists of:
- 46 ECTS of common compulsory courses
- a compulsory computational course (6 ECTS) (to select 1 out of 3)
- 8 ECTS of elective courses from clusters
The 2nd year of the master programme is worth 60 ECTS and consists of:
- 14 ECTS of common compulsory courses
- 22 ECTS of elective courses from clusters
- a master's thesis (24 ECTS)
In the 1st year of the master programme, all students have to suscribe to the 'starting plan' of 60 ECTS.
In the 2nd year students have to suscribe to 1 of the 5 'profiles' (by a 'plan change')
This module includes 52 ECTS of compulsory courses: 46 ECTS of common compulsory courses and one compulsory computational course (6 ECTS) to select out of 3.
Compulsory Courses 1st year of the model learning track
These compulsory courses must be successfully completed in the 1st year of the model learning track.
From the courses listed below, students must obtain 46 ECTS credits.
Compulsory Computational Course 1st year of the model learning track
Students must select and successfully complete one of these computational course units in the 1st year of the model learning track.
From the courses listed below, students must obtain 6 ECTS credits.
| 6ECTS credits - Computational Neurophysiology |
| 6ECTS credits - Computational Tissue and Structure Mechanics |
| 6ECTS credits - Computational Bio-fluid Mechanics |
In the 1st year students have to suscribe to at least 8 ECTS of electives from one of the following modules and different from the computational course already suscribed for as compulsory course. Subject to approval by the Curriculum Council.
Students can select electives from the different clusters. However, they must bear in mind that the selection of 1 of the 4 specific profiles in the 2nd year - Radiation Physics, Biomechanics and Biomaterials, Sensors and Medical Devices and Neuro-Engineering - will require having completed at least 18 ECTS of electives of the cluster related to that 'profile', at the end of the master's programme.
To complete this module, students must obtain 14 ECTS credits.
Cluster Radiation Physics
Students aiming at the acquisition of the certificate of ‘Expert in Medical Radiation Physics’ must successfully complete at least these electives:Students aiming at the acquisition of the certificate of ‘Expert in Medical Radiation Physics’ must have successfully completed at least these electives at the end of the master's programme:
