Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics

The areas of Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics at TUM are focused on the improvement and development of novel imaging modalities for microscopy and biomedical imaging as well as on the development of biosensor technology for Lab-On-Chip technology. Other examples include the application of artificial intelligence for the analysis of medical data, the improvement of therapeutic methods, the development of tracers or methods to support radiotherapy, as well as various biomedical applications of biomechanics and biophysics to the broad field of biomedical engineering. For a comprehensive description of the program, please refer to the degree degree program documentation (PDF, German). Which further expertise and skills will I acquire? The courses on the Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics Master teach the basics and the skills required to successfully carry out research or industrial projects across the interdisciplinary boundaries between natural sciences, engineering and medicine. In addition to the necessary background knowledge and practical know-how, the self and social skills required in the academic or industrial environment of biomedical engineering should also be promoted. This profile is intended to enable graduates to be deployed in a wide range of industrial and service industries. Which professional opportunities can I take up with this qualification? Typical fields of application for the graduates of this master's program are in experimental research activities, in the planning and documentation of research projects as well as in adjacent fields of activity of the biotech and medical technology industry, for example in patenting, development, project planning or in public institutions. Program structure The Master's program is divided in a course phase in the first two semesters and a research phase in the second year. The basis of the course phase of the first year is the module ‘Biomedical Physics 1 & 2’. During the course phase students chose modules from a catalog, which covers selected topics of Biomedical Engineering. Here the diversity of the research activities at TUM within this area is visible and accessible to the students. The ‘Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics Lab Course’ and a course from a non-natural science catalogue complete the profile. A mentor supports students in choosing their focus area. The research phase brings the students directly in contact with current topics of research in biomedical engineering. After a period of vocational adjustment (Master's seminar and Master's training, 3rd semester) students work on their own research project for the Master's thesis. An intense supervision during the whole research phase is assured by the large number of senior scientists at the campus Garching and students benefit from the excellent research environment with a broad national and international research network.
