MSc BioMedical Engineering & Design (BMED)

Skills and knowledge connected to the activities of R&D in the biomedical sector are the main targets of the BME&D Master’s (Master iSanté in French).

The biomedical sector requires an increasing capacity to evolve in a multicultural environment specifically at the interface between engineering and health, where interactions and communication with the practitioners are essential. Besides, basic skills in science and engineering are compulsory for the engineer in the biomedical sector. These skills are adapted and specialized to this sector during the program.

Graduates will work both upstream and downstream of the sector and at the interface between manufacturers and end-users. The program is mostly focused on the R&D in the health industry, which is a very international sector.

All courses are taught in English.

Applicant

To be graduated of a M1 in sciences or an equivalent Bachelor degree (4-year degree).

This program will give preference to engineering students without a biomedical background and who want to get a position at the interface of engineering and health, or continue with a PhD in the domain.

Basic coding skills are mandatory to be admitted to the program.
