U kan eveneens inschrijven voor dit studieplan na het volgen van het Voorbereidingsprogramma Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering (enkel in het Engels).
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 6 different specialisations ('profiles').
- Radiation Physics
- Biomechanics and Biomaterials
- Sensors and Medical Devices
- Neuro-engineering
- Artificial Intelligence and Digital Health
- Generic profile
The 1st year of the master programme (= the 'starting plan') is worth 60 ECTS and consists of:
39 ECTS compulsory courses
5 ECTS compulsory elective
6 ECTS a compulsory computational course (to select 1 out of 4)
10 ECTS of elective courses from clusters
The 2nd year of the master programme is worth 60 ECTS and consists of:
9 ECTS of common compulsory courses
5 ECTS compulsory elective
22 ECTS of elective courses from clusters (19 ECTS electives + min.3 ECTS SDG elective)
24 ECTS master's thesis
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 6 'profiles' (by a 'plan change')
This module includes 50 ECTS compulsory courses in MA1 (39 ECTS + 6 ECTS + 5 ECTS) and 14 ECTS compulsory courses in MA2 (9 ECTS + 5 ECTS)
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. Students need to select one of the following courses in MA1 and follow the other course in MA2: "Biomedical Robotics and Assistive Technologies" and "Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering"
Uit de hieronder genoemde cursussen, moet voor ten minste 39 ECTS credits worden geselecteerd.
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.
Uit de hieronder genoemde cursussen, moet voor ten minste 6 ECTS credits worden geselecteerd.
Compulsory Elective courses 1st year and 2nd year of the model learning track
Students must select and successfully complete one of these elective course units in the 1st year and 2nd year of the model learning track.
Uit de hieronder genoemde cursussen, moet voor ten minste 10 ECTS credits worden geselecteerd.
| 5ECTS credits - Biomedical Robotics and Assistive Technologies |
| 5ECTS credits - Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering |
Compulsory Courses 2nd year of the model learning track
These compulsory courses must be successfully completed in the 2nd year of the model learning track.
Uit de hieronder genoemde cursussen, moet voor ten minste 9 ECTS credits worden geselecteerd.
| 3ECTS credits - Clinical Study Design and Biostatistics |
| 3ECTS credits - Health Information and Decision Support |
| 3ECTS credits - Introduction to Medical Device Legislation |
Students must subscribe to at least 32 ECTS of electives from no less than one cluster from the following list and different from the computational course already subscribed to as compulsory course. Subject to approval by the Curriculum Council.
- 10 ECTS in year 1
- 19 ECTS in year 2 and min. 3 ECTS SDG course (can be increased to a maximum of 6 ECTS SDG course (2x3 ECTS or 1x6 ECTS))
In this plan, students do not select one specific cluster, but select electives from the different clusters and/or the cluster with general electives.
Om deze module af te werken, moet de student 32 ECTS credits behalen.
Cluster Radiation Physics
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:
