Which of the five specialisations suits you best?

Before the start of your Master’s in Biomedical Engineering, you will choose a specialisation. This way, by personalising your programme, you get to develop your own expertise. We offer you different kinds of specialisations, some of which you will not easily find elsewhere. Your choice determines which courses you will take and the type of research you will be involved in during your master’s thesis.

In this specialisation, you learn to use living tissues and cells to develop technologies that can mimic or restore the function of diseased organs or damaged tissues.
