Courses
Students will engage a number of compulsory and elective curses during the first two semesters, summing uo to a total of 8 biomedical engineering subject. These provide sound preparation for the final project of the MSc, which may be carried out, either on campus or at a collaborating/affiliated institute.
Biomedical Signal & Image Processing & Modeling (Compulsory – 8 ECTS)
In this course, the fundamentals of digital signal processing with particular emphasis on problems in biomedical research, are explored. Lectures cover background topics on the biological signals and images as long as algorithmic approaches on biomedical signal analysis.
Biomaterials (Compulsory – 8 ECTS)
Our Biomaterials course familiarizes students with state-of-the-art biomaterials, their classifications and clinical applications.
Pharmaceutical (Nano-) technology & cosmetology (Compulsory – 8 ECTS)
This course aims to develop an awareness of the theory and practice around pharmaceutical technology, cosmetology and nanotechnology and the potential interplay amongst them. The course is organized around 2 different sections.
Tissue Biomechanics (Elective – 6 ECTS)
The course first introduces background knowledge on tissue biomechanics, including soft/hard tissues and cells, cardiovascular biomechanics, heart as a pump, role of arterial microstructure on aortic disease, cerebral aneurysms' growth and remodeling, theoretical models of remodeling, structure-b
Experimental Biomechanics (Elective – 6 ECTS)
The course provides in-depth knowledge on the mechanics of the human movement, with a focus on recent and anticipated developments involved in the treatment of major health challanges (low back pain, instability, aging, prosthesis etc.).
Bioinformatics (Elective – 6 ECTS)
This course teaches the bioinformatics skills used in academic, biotech, and pharmaceutical laboratories for analyzing individual DNA and protein sequences. The focus is extensive hands-on experience using mainstream web-based bioinformatics tools.
