Overview

Biomedical Systems Engineering is offered by RWTH Aachen University. Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary area in which engineering techniques are applied to medical problems.

Key Facts

Graduates with a Master degree in Electrical Engineering, Information Technology and Computer Engineering and a specialization in Biomedical Engineering have acquired a high level of specialisation, a research-oriented view and in-depth domain-specific knowledge at a professional level in the areas of electrical engineering, information/communication technology and engineering physiology and they can apply engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology. They understand medical instruments for diagnosis and therapy. The curriculum is designed to provide not only a general background in biomedical engineering, but also a special focus on systems skills in electrical engineering, like control system, communication techniques, measurement or visualization of biomedical systems for basis or clinical applications. The graduates have a broad knowledge of signal processing for the acquisition, optimization and analysis of biomedical applications for both clinical and research applications. System engineering, mathematical, statistical, multiscale computational modelling and optimization form the theoretical basis of the field.
