The Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering is an interdisciplinary programme open to graduates of physics, computer science, medical technology, biomedical engineering, and mathematics. A firm background in physics, computer science, and mathematics (at least six ECTS credits for each topic) is expected. The Master's programme in Biomedical Engineering emphasises research and offers the option of working in the field of medical physics and/or biomedical engineering with a strong orientation towards computer science. It meets the demand for specialists who not only have knowledge of technical devices and their usage but also have the potential to address the ever-increasing demand for programming abilities, which are likely to dominate technical solutions in medicine in the future. Graduates of this Master's programme are well equipped for various positions in industry and in research.
All taught courses and laboratory rotations are covered in the first three semesters. Students gain fundamental knowledge in anatomy, physiology, genetics, biophysics, and engineering mathematics through mandatory introductory courses in their first study semester. These courses are the basis for advanced courses in radiation therapy, nuclear medicine, medical imaging as well as computational medical physics. These advanced courses can be selected according to students' interests. Students deepen their knowledge in the second and third semesters through practical laboratory rotations and further advanced lectures in image analysis, scientific visualisation, bioinformatics, and computer science-related fields in biomedical engineering. The final semester is reserved for the Master's thesis and a final examination on the overall content of the programme.

Students are permitted by law to work during their studies. However, we discourage students from working, as the study workload is very intense and students typically find it difficult to combine studies with work. A job may lead to poor study performance.
Accommodation is available through student services at the University of Mannheim and Heidelberg University as well as in privately owned hostels. The monthly rent for a single room in a student residence is approx. between 250 and 400 EUR.
