The goals and tasks of biomedical engineering are the research and development of methods and systems for early detection, diagnosis, therapy and rehabilitation of diseases. Biomedical engineering is a multidisciplinary engineering science, which with its contributions is an excellent partner for medical research and industry.
Studies
study content
The students deepen their knowledge of methods and approaches in biomedical engineering. You will get to know research and development processes and have the opportunity to apply this specifically to current issues and tasks.
The focus of the research-oriented master's programme is:
- Biomedical Systems and Processes
- signal and image processing
- functional materials and
- Neuroprosthetics/AI
The course is characterized by a high proportion of independent scientific work under the guidance of professors from the Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen . In particular, lectures and, if necessary, posters at national and international specialist congresses and conferences are supported.

job prospects
perspectives
The aim of the master's programme is to train experts with a profound engineering basis, sustainable methodological skills and a well -founded understanding of biomedical questions and tasks. The course qualifies the graduates into application -oriented activities in biomedical research, development and industry.
The degree programme maintains national and international contacts with universities, research institutions, companies and specialist societies. It offers its students the opportunity to work on current topics in biomedical engineering.
Study variants
German and English study variant
The biomedical technology course can be studied in a German or an English version. Depending on the selected variant, all courses in English or German are offered.
The Elective subjects offered vary every semester and can differ between the course variants; As a rule, they are offered alternately in English or German. Elective subjects of the other language variant can be documented if they have the required language skills.
In addition, your knowledge of English, scientific writing and your intercultural skills in the studies are further deepened in order to prepare communication in international teams.
A change between the English and the German variant is possible at any time in the course of the course, provided that the corresponding language requirements (see point application) are met.

Master (MSc) 3 semesters AQAS Cologne full-time study German or English Gießen semester fee |
| requirements | A prerequisite for admission to the master's degree is a completed diploma or bachelor's degree with a final grade of at least "satisfactory" (2.7 or better) in the field of biomedical technology, medical physics, physics, electrical engineering or computer science. Furthermore, knowledge of English must be proven on level B1 of the common European reference framework. The examination regulations regulate more details. Bachelor's graduates from Degree Courses with fewer than seven semesters can make up for missing knowledge by the end of the second semester, so that after completing the master's degree in "Biomedical Engineering" a corresponding total study volume of 300 credit points can be proven. |
| Language requirements | German -language variant: English skills on the level B1 of the common European reference framework must be demonstrated in order to understand English-language specialist literature. In foreign applicants who have acquired their first university degree in a non-German-language course: proof of good knowledge of German (e.g. DSH-2, Testdaf with at least 4 points in every area). English -language variant: Basic knowledge of basic German at level A1 (or equivalent a German-language first university degree) must be demonstrated. For the study itself, knowledge of English is required at level B2 in order to actively participate in courses and scientific discussions. |
