Study Contents

Would you like to know how to make organs visible in the body, control prosthetics with your thoughts, implant pacemakers through veins, or manufacture Covid-19 tests? The scientifically-based professional training in the program provides expertise in medical device technology and rehabilitation technology, including prosthetics. This is complemented by medical fundamentals, knowledge of medical device approval and standards, and health economics. You will learn the language and issues of medicine, acquire the expertise to solve specific technical problems, and be able to implement these solutions in projects and products.

Practical is not just theoretically the best...

While others only talk about "practical experience in studies," we actually put it into practice—and not just a little.

From the first semester, you will also engage in practical work with us. This means you will implement everything you learn theoretically through hands-on exercises, lab work, projects with companies, or healthcare institutions. Fun and excitement are guaranteed!
