MSc Biomedical Engineering

2 Years On Campus Masters Program

University of Lubeck

Program Overview

 The International Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering in Lübeck is a joint program run since 2002 by Universität zu Lübeck and Lübeck University of Applied Sciences, designed for students who wish to pursue careers in research and development, academia, or industry. The program educates students in the interdisciplinary fields of engineering and medicine, integrating physical, chemical, mathematical, and computational sciences and engineering principles to study biology, medicine, behavior, and health.

 The first year builds the interdisciplinary foundation in engineering and medicine, with students typically covering biomedical signal processing, medical imaging, biomechanics and biomaterials, and physiology/anatomy for engineers, alongside mathematics and computational methods. Students acquire the physical, chemical, mathematical, and computational principles needed to study biology, medicine, behavior, and health, and begin applying engineering principles at the molecular-to-organ-system level.

Year 2: The second year deepens specialization through electives and a substantial research phase. Students typically take advanced modules such as medical device technology, clinical engineering, bioinformatics/computational modeling, or implant technology, and complete a research project followed by the master's thesis. This phase develops the competence to create innovative biologics, materials, processes, implants, devices, and informatics approaches for prevention, diagnosis, treatment of disease, and rehabilitation.

Focus areas: Interdisciplinary biomedical engineering; biomedical signal processing; medical imaging; biomechanics and biomaterials; medical device technology; clinical engineering; computational modeling/bioinformatics; implants; physiology and anatomy for engineers.

Learning outcomes: Education in the interdisciplinary fields of engineering and medicine; ability to advance fundamental concepts and create knowledge from the molecular to the organ systems level; competence in developing innovative biologics, materials, processes, implants, devices, and informatics approaches for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and health improvement.

Professional alignment (accreditation): No accreditation information is provided on either referenced page.

Reputation (employability rankings): No QS, Guardian, or official employability ranking data is provided on either referenced page; the pages state only that Lübeck is one of the leading centers in Biomedical Engineering.

Experiential Learning (Research, Projects, Internships etc.)

The provided Lübeck pages contain no information on laboratories, software, internships, field trips, libraries, institutes, or other facilities tied to this program—the content is limited to the program's general aim and interdisciplinary orientation. The only program-specific facts available are that it is a joint degree delivered by two institutions (Universität zu Lübeck and Lübeck University of Applied Sciences, running since 2002) and that it is oriented toward research and development, science, and industry, which implies a research- and application-oriented training environment. Any bullet points on concrete facilities or tools cannot be sourced from the given material and would have to be verified elsewhere.

What can be stated without inventing details:

  • Dual-institution structure: The program is jointly run by a university and a university of applied sciences, meaning students have access to the combined teaching and research infrastructure of both Lübeck institutions—though the specific facilities are not named on the page.

  • Research and development orientation: The stated aim of preparing students for careers in R&D, science, and industry points to research-based project work and thesis phases, but the page does not specify labs or equipment.

  • Interdisciplinary scope: Training spans engineering and medicine—including physical, chemical, mathematical, and computational sciences—implying exposure to both technical and clinical/medical methods, without named software or tools on the page.

Progression & Future Opportunities

The provided page contains no information on employment statistics, salary figures, university career services, industry partnerships, accreditation, or graduation outcomes for the Lübeck Biomedical Engineering M.Sc. — its content is limited to the program's general aim, its joint delivery by Universität zu Lübeck and Lübeck University of Applied Sciences since 2002, and its orientation toward research and development, science, and industry. A response with the requested bullet points and figures therefore cannot be sourced from this page and any such numbers would have to be invented, which I will not do.

What the page does support:

Graduates are trained for careers in research and development, science, and industry, in the interdisciplinary fields of engineering and medicine, with the competence to develop innovative biological products, materials, procedures, implants, devices, and informatics approaches for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, rehabilitation, and health improvement. Typical job roles aligned with this profile would include:

  • R&D Engineer in medical device or implant development

  • Biomedical/Clinical Engineer in hospitals or healthcare technology

  • Research Scientist in academia or industrial research

  • Product/Regulatory Specialist in the medical technology industry

Not available from the provided source (to be verified with the program office or university career service):

  • • University career services specific to this program

  • • Employment statistics and salary figures

  • • Named university–industry partnerships

  • • Accreditation details and validity period

  • • Documented graduation outcomes

Further Academic Progression: The page does not describe doctoral pathways, but as a Master of Science delivered by a research university (Universität zu Lübeck) in a leading biomedical engineering location, the degree provides the methodological and interdisciplinary foundation typically required for doctoral study (Dr.-Ing./Dr. rer. nat./PhD) in biomedical engineering or related engineering and life-science fields; specific progression routes should be confirmed directly with the university.
