Graduates from Ilmenau possess a sound foundation in engineering, outstanding methodological skills, a keen understanding of current medical issues and practical medical knowledge. This enables them to play an effective role as partners to doctors in clinical practice, in medical technology research and development, in application, and in a wide range of other fields within the medical technology industry.
A wide range of work placements, practical exercises and independent development projects throughout the course ensure a strong practical focus. The specialist work placement in the Bachelor’s program involves a self-contained, practice-oriented project in healthcare, industry or research. The design project in the Master’s program enables students to work independently on a task drawn from the institute’s range of teaching and research activities.
The participating institutes’ strong research focus enables students to contribute to cutting-edge and highly relevant research topics in the following areas:
- Ophthalmic technology,
- Measurement and stimulation technology,
- Data analysis, modelling and inverse methods,
- Medical imaging and radiological technology,
- Medical information systems.
Partner institutions and companies in the USA, Europe and Japan offer opportunities for students to undertake part of their studies or specialist work placements, depending on their individual circumstances and preferences.
