Work as a highly qualified and sought-after specialist in the leading market for biomedical engineering in Europe?
Then choose the Bachelor Biomedical Engineering at the TU Ilmenau!
Brief description
Living as long as possible in good health - that's what many people strive for today. By using modern technology for the early detection, diagnosis, therapy and rehabilitation of diseases, doctors are becoming increasingly successful in helping patients. This is made possible by biomedical engineering - an engineering discipline specializing in biological and medical issues.
Biomedical engineers develop respiratory machines, program pacemakers for the human body or research new, gentler X-ray techniques.
With its interdisciplinary orientation, the study of biomedical engineering forms the interface between technology and biology or medicine. As a student, you will deal with current medical topics and develop a strong understanding of medical research and practice. You will work closely with the biomedical engineering industry. Already during your studies you will be involved in basic biomedical research. The Institute for Biomedical Engineering at the TU Ilmenau is a world leader in the fields of brain research, radiology technology and ophthalmology.
In a specialized internship, you will apply your knowledge in clinics, research institutions or consulting companies in Germany or abroad.
As a biomedical engineering graduate, you will be in high demand in Germany, the largest market and manufacturer of biomedical engineering in Europe, and can work in research and development departments of device technology manufacturers, in government agencies or hospitals.
Why Ilmenau?
Already during your studies you acquire the qualification as a medical physics expert, because the first year of the training is integrated in the bachelor's program. As a student of biomedical engineering, you can get involved in the TU Ilmenau university group of the German Society for Biomedical Engineering. The group organizes lectures as well as workshops and offers access to a nationwide network of research institutions and industry.
In addition, you have the opportunity to spend part of your studies at our partner university in China and receive a double degree. The stay at the renowned Tongji Zheijang Collegeoffers you the chance to complete an internship in China at the end of your bachelor's degree, to write your bachelor's thesis or to conduct research in the university's laboratories.
Through Ilmenau with Janine and Marcel
Janine and Marcel take you on an exciting tour of the campus of the Ilmenau University of Technology and through Ilmenau itself. They describe how they live and study in Ilmenau, give numerous leisure tips and insights into the place of study of the Ilmenau University of Technology and take you to hidden places in the city.
