Imaging Engineering Maastricht University

Overview

Imaging is an essential tool in understanding the world around us. Imaging technologies are used in fundamental and applied research, in academia and industry alike. With the interdisciplinary master Imaging Engineering , you will drive advances in areas such as medicine, chemical engineering, surface and process chemistry, biotechnology, cell biology, and imaging equipment design.

Career

Imaging Engineering from  Maastricht University  prepares you to take on an expert role in the growing field of imaging engineering. The multi-disciplinary nature of the programme provides you with a solid scientific basis in engineering, physics, mathematics and (bio) chemistry in relation to Imaging Engineering. Moreover, your specialisation choice provides you with in-depth knowledge in either Instrumentation Imaging Engineering or Molecular Imaging Engineering. Your selection of electives will further allow you to connect disciplines and gain very relevant technical and soft skills.

Therefore, you’ll be ready to pursue a career in a wide variety of fields where imaging instruments and technology play a key role, such as medicine, biotechnology and the electronics industry. You’re able to not only use imaging as a tool in numerous scientific fields, but you also have the knowledge and skills to design innovative imaging strategies for a wide array of industrial applications.

This expertise is not only highly sought after, but also relevant for a wide range of engineering careers in:

• Any company focused on manufacturing imaging instruments or analytical technologies (e.g. sensors, semi-conductors) that need a (design or quality) engineer, imaging technologist or imaging analyst in their Research and Development (R&D) departments.
• Small and medium enterprises (SME) that focus on innovative product, technology or process development, especially related to imaging instruments and techniques or detection strategies.
• Companies involved in the production of materials or (bio) molecules for imaging, for example, molecular probes, derivation or imaging reagents.
• Chemical industry or engineering companies that design (parts of) chemical processes or equipment.
• Consultancy firms that focus on materials evaluation, imaging innovations or novel applications of imaging technologies, such as in robotics
• Healthcare providers, such as hospitals, that offer imaging services for diagnostic and clinical applications.
