Study Programmes Details

Class sizes range from 20 to 30 students, promoting close interaction with lecturers. Teaching time is approximately 20 hours per week, with an additional 20 hours expected for study, project work, and individual preparation. Learning primarily occurs through interactive dialogue based on readings and preparation.

The program follows the international ECTS system. In the first semester, students build a foundation in mathematics and methods, gain experience with modeling and simulation tools like Matlab, and explore medical engineering through lab courses and introductory lectures.

The second semester focuses on specialized lectures and research projects. Electives allow for deeper exploration of personal interests, while the Management Skills module enhances essential soft skills for career success.

The program concludes with a Master's thesis on a comprehensive scientific project.
