Improving health through science and engineering
The Master of Science in Engineering in Health Engineering (BMED) trains experts capable of evolving in a rapidly transforming biomedical sector, where engineering sciences, medicine, life sciences, and regulatory and industrial challenges converge.
In a decidedly interdisciplinary and international environment, students learn to design, develop, and evaluate innovative biomedical technologies — medical devices, biomaterials, diagnostic tools, implantable technologies, nanomedical approaches, etc.
Program Objectives
The BMED Master of Science in Engineering aims to develop the necessary skills to:
- understand the biological and biomechanical mechanisms related to health;
- master the technologies and tools used in biomedical R&D;
- work effectively at the interface between engineers, clinicians, and regulatory experts;
- conduct applied research projects in the health industries.
Graduates are trained to intervene in the upstream and downstream phases of biomedical development, up to the interface with end-users (healthcare professionals).
Why choose the BMED Master of Science in Engineering?
- Critical Multidisciplinarity
The program provides you with the keys to communicate and evolve effectively at the complex interfaces of engineering, medicine, and regulatory requirements. - Cutting-edge Expertise
Develop in-depth knowledge in biomaterials, biomechanics, nanomedicine, and diagnostic tools. - Research Orientation
Thanks to the laboratory Master’s Project and the 6-month research-oriented end-of-studies internship, you are perfectly prepared for a doctorate (international standard in the field). - Strategic Positioning
Our graduates work across the entire value chain (upstream and downstream branches) and at key interfaces between industry and healthcare professionals.
The Vision of the Master’s Program Director
Training engineers at the interface of living organisms and technology
“The biomedical sector is one of the most demanding, and innovation is vital. Our BMED Master of Science in Engineering was designed to train engineers and researchers capable of navigating with ease the complex interface of science, medicine, and regulatory requirements.
It is this dual culture — scientific and contextual — combined with a strong international Research & Development orientation, that makes our graduates key players in the global health industry and tomorrow’s innovation.”

Key Skills Developed
The BMED Master of Science in Engineering trains you in biomedical R&D by developing four fundamental areas of expertise:
- Bioengineering & Diagnostics
Mastery of analytical tools and biological foundations for the medical sector. - Biomaterials & Nanomedicine
Expertise in the design, evaluation, and integration of materials in contact with living organisms. - Biomechanics of Living Organisms
Understanding the mechanical properties of tissues and physiological responses (Mechanobiology). - Applied Physiology
Study of complex systems (nervous, metabolic) in relation to health devices and aging.
The objective: to acquire the dual Engineering-Medicine culture to innovate in medical devices and health industries.
A program rooted in research
The training is based on:
- the laboratories of the École des Mines de Saint-Étienne,
- a unique scientific and technological environment,
- projects within experimental platforms,
- a 6-month research internship, highly professionalizing.
The BMED Master of Science in Engineering also constitutes a privileged gateway to a doctorate, recognized as an international standard for working in health R&D.
A rapidly growing biomedical sector
Health industries are looking for hybrid profiles, capable of understanding:
- clinical needs,
- regulatory constraints,
- material and device properties,
- user and market expectations.
The BMED Master of Science in Engineering precisely meets these growing needs, both in France and internationally.
Where does the training take place?
At the École des Mines de Saint-Étienne, in a high-level scientific environment and in close connection with research laboratories.
❗️ Applications are open from January to April.
