Master’s in Biomedical Engineering at Ghent University
The Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering is an interuniversity initiative between Ghent University and Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Students acquire a solid technical know-how (integrating mathematics, physics, chemistry and life sciences with engineering techniques) to operate in the biomedical sector, while being introduced to the specificities of working for and with the patient and with living matter, and getting to know the perspective of the clinician and all stakeholders in the biomedical and health care industry. Students acquire the necessary research and engineering skills to analyse and solve complex problems independently, and are capable of developing new materials, devices, tools, systems and methods for the early diagnosis, prevention and treatment of disease in order to improve and guarantee society's health care and quality of life. Students are made aware of the ethical and socio-economic aspects of the biomedical engineering profession and get to know the organisation of our health care system. In the fast-evolving field of biomedical engineering, the Master’s programme also stimulates an attitude of live-long learning. This programme delivers academically formed engineers of an outstanding international level, naturally trained to function in a multidisciplinary and international team through the multidisciplinary programme (with lecturers from diverse faculties and research areas) and work on multidisciplinary projects together with international students solving multidisciplinary problem cases in group. Students acquire excellent communication skills in oral and written reporting. Je moet akkoord gaan met onze cookie policy alvorens je filmpjes kan bekijken.
