Prerequisites

The Master program in Medical Technologies is open to graduates of Bachelor and Diploma programs in the fields of engineering / engineering science or natural sciences whose curricula involve at least 50 relevant ECTS points. The decision on the acceptability of prior qualifications is taken by the Program Director.

Provided that the above mentioned prerequisites can be fulfilled, this Master program is an ideal follow-on from Bachelor programs in the field of Mechatronics, Medical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Radiology Technology, Clinical Engineering, Environmental, Process & Energy Engineering and IT.

Recognition of previous qualifications in the master program:
Applications for recognition of examinations or credits obtained through other study programs or previous scientific experience must be submitted to the Program Director. A decision will only be taken in cases where the application for admission has met with a positive decision. Recognition of credits or previous experience is only granted for individual classes in the program.

While Studying Medical Technolgies

MCI study programs stand out due to the quality of their content, relevance to the business world, and their international orientation. The close cooperation with partners from industry and integrative internships enable students to gain practical experience as early as in their Bachelor’s studies. In addition to providing expert knowledge, MCI places great importance on encouraging personal development and the development of social and intercultural competencies.

Medical Technologies

Due to aging societies, medical technologies is a fast growing market in developed countries. Since medical professionals are no longer able to keep up with the rapid development of diagnostic and therapeutic technology, an increased demand for experts with a relevant education, training and background arises alongside with technological advance.

At the same time, tools developed for industrial applications are often inadequate for medical purposes. This is due to the comparatively high complexity of the human body but also to socio-economic factors that are unique to the sector. Therefore, a well-balanced program in medical technologies has to offer much more than just a collection of courses covering important engineering aspects like latest sensor technology and clinical hardware.

In this program MCI together with its partners combines the latest trends in medical engineering like active prosthetics and implantable devices with current global developments in digitalization. Hence, besides typical contents such as medical imaging, devices and IT, current topics such as app development, augmented reality, medical robotics, personalized medicine and regulatory issues are emphasized. With additional courses in management and business, also economic aspects for potential future entrepreneurs are addressed.

In order to boost professional development, a distinct focus is put on internationalization and practical relevance for the field. Consequently, the educational concept is designed around a mixture of lectures given by standing faculty, international experts and guest lecturers from the industry. This approach is combined with real-life projects, inquiry-based learning and hands-on lab-work to increase and fine-tune the practical knowledge and industry skills in students.
