About the Program

The Master's programme in Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics at TUM focuses on applying natural science and engineering principles to medicine and life sciences to develop new methods for prevention, diagnosis, and therapy. Research areas in the programme include novel imaging modalities for microscopy and biomedical imaging, biosensor technology for lab-on-a-chip applications, artificial intelligence for medical data analysis, improved therapeutic methods, radiotherapy support, and biomechanical and biophysical applications. Students specialise in one of two areas: biomedical imaging or biosensors. The programme runs for four semesters (two years) with entry available in both winter and summer. The first year focuses mainly on lectures and lab courses, while the second year centres on the Master's thesis research. The course catalogue includes compulsory and elective subjects; elective courses reflect the research activity of the Physics Department and the Munich Institute of Biomedical Engineering. Students from countries that are not German speakers are required, as a condition of admission by the Bavarian State Government, to complete at least one module in German language during their first two semesters if they cannot already demonstrate German proficiency. Tuition fees are 12,000 EUR per year. The programme is offered at the Technical University of Munich in Garching b. München, Germany.
