Medical engineering is a recently emerged field that applies engineering, physics, mathematics, and computer science to health care in order to improve diagnostic tools, monitoring techniques, and therapeutic devices. The field of medical engineering is heavily involved in research and development and covers topics from tissue engineering and robotics, to development of medical devices and wearable sensors. The analytics field aims to find patterns in data to allow the automatization of the data processing and, thus, diagnostic assessment. These developments play a role as a major game-changer in our healthcare system and thus in our society.
The master of science program "Medical Engineering and Analytics" is designed to educate a new generation of medical engineers, who will innovate the healthcare systems of the future. The MSc program puts the main emphasis on the current trends in medical engineering –the use of artificial intelligence (AI), augmented and virtual reality (VR, AR), and as a result of the demographic change, assistive technologies.
AI already supports the evaluation of medical data and images nowadays, and in the future, it may also affect many other areas that we are not yet aware of. AR is being used for the teaching of medical doctors or for surgery planning but still requires more profound development to reach its full potential. The aging of the population is another important point shaping the future of healthcare systems worldwide and leads to vast developments and increased use of assistive technologies. With the main focus on these current trends, the MSc degree program in Medical Engineering & Analytics encompasses several courses with the topics deep learning, signal and image analysis, visualization, and assisted living. We also focus on entrepreneurship and provide the students with resources and assistance to found their own startups.
Additionally to theoretical input, hands-on training in specialized laboratories and work on projects represent other core elements of this MSc program. Due to close cooperation with the healthcare sector, healthcare professionals and experts can be invited as guest lecturers. Small groups, personal support and mentoring, and an open-door policy for all professors are our top priorities. Since internationalization is an important aspect of modern education, the students are encouraged and supported to go for an internship abroad in joint projects with our research partners.
Graduates of the Medical Engineering & Analytics master of science program have a wide spectrum of exciting career opportunities, often finding employment in medical device production companies, software development companies, hospitals, cutting-edge start-ups or as entrepreneurs themselves.
