The Technische Hochschule Lübeck, the Universität zu Lübeck and the University of Southern Denmark welcome students from all over the world who wish to deepen their knowledge in Medical Microtechnology.
The joint international Master's programme in Lübeck, Germany, and Sønderborg, Denmark, is designed for students who wish to pursue careers in research and development, academia, or industry. The goal of the programme is to educate students in the interdisciplinary fields of engineering and medicine.
Medical Microtechnology integrates physical, chemical, mathematical, and computational sciences as well as engineering principles to study biology, medicine, behaviour, and health. It addresses the area of miniaturisation in the field of minimally invasive surgery and implants for drug delivery. The integration of sensors and actuators leads to new options for diagnosis and therapy.
This programme is divided into four semesters, beginning in the winter semester.
In the first semester, students with degrees in electronics, information technology, mechanical engineering, physics, process engineering, materials technology, or mechatronics will be enrolled in introductory courses in medicine, natural sciences, and medical technology in order to gain the necessary knowledge in these fields.
Free intensive German courses of different levels are provided for international students each semester.
During the second semester, students can enrol in a variety of specialised courses at the University of Southern Denmark. The common basics developed in the first semester will be expanded to include practical applications. This coursework will focus mainly on project-oriented teamwork.
In the third semester, students will complete a research internship of at least four months. The results will be presented at the annual Lübeck Students' Conference.
Finally, in the fourth semester, students will prepare and start writing a Master's thesis over the course of six months.
The second semester will be attended at the University of Southern Denmark.
Additionally, the internship and the Master's thesis can be accomplished in Germany, Denmark, or any other country.
One internship of four to six months has to be completed after the second semester. Programme advisers will assist students in finding an appropriate internship in Germany or abroad.
Academic supervision will be offered.
Financial support will be possible.
Approx. 250 EUR per semester (including semester ticket for free public transport in Lübeck, Schleswig-Holstein, and Hamburg)
