Biomedical engineering is technology for life. It directly affects human health. Together with medical partners, it develops new methods for the detection and treatment of diseases and implements them in medical technology.
The TU Ilmenau has a long and successful tradition in the field of biomedical engineering. Already in the year of 1953, the Institute of Electromedical and Radiological Engineering was established at the former "Hochschule für Elektrotechnik" (HfE), which was the first university institute in Europe that introduced an on-campus biomedical engineering programme.
Key aspects of the Bachelor's programme include the following:
Students start their Bachelor's education with the five semesters at their home university. The sixth and seventh semesters are studied abroad. This also includes the Bachelor's thesis. The topic for the thesis is jointly determined with the supervisors at Tongji Zhejiang University (TZH) and the TU Ilmenau (TUIL). It is jointly supervised and assessed by one supervisor from each university. For the German students, the by-laws can be found the course regulations ("Studienordnung"). The participants are chosen by a joint commission consisting of members from both universities. The decision is based on the marks and the students' state of preparation.
The credits are transferred according to a modified Bavarian form, which is part of the German by-laws ("Bachelor-Prüfungsordnung für den Studiengang Biomedizinische Technik (BPO-BB"). The graduates receive a Bachelor of Engineering degree at TZH and a Bachelor of Science degree (Biomedical Engineering) at TUIL.
