About this programme
Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering is a Master's Degree programme at Technical University of Denmark in Lyngby, taught in English. It runs for 2 years and carries 120 ECTS credits. The register gives Lyngby as the campus town. It lists the degree as Master of Science (MSc). Technical University of Denmark is a research university in Capital Region.
What you will study
The MSc in Biomedical Engineering at DTU is about designing the diagnostic techniques and treatments of the future, both inside and outside the hospital. The programme is interdisciplinary and run with the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen.
What you study
At the centre is the interaction between the human body, sensors, technical equipment and the algorithms that map that interaction. You take both engineering and human physiology courses. They range from how organs function at cell level to modelling physiological processes in the locomotive apparatus.
The programme points to the equipment modern healthcare depends on: PET scanners for studying molecular processes in cancer, pacemakers and other life-sustaining equipment, DNA chips for studying the genome, and deep learning techniques for working with large amounts of clinical data.
How the programme is organised
The MSc is a two-year graduate programme worth 120 ECTS. The page lists specialisations, projects and a curriculum as part of the programme, and you can follow an Industry Master of Science track that combines work and study. You can work with Danish and international companies as part of courses, as an individual project or while writing your thesis. DTU also offers Honours Programmes as a more demanding study track.
Who it suits
This suits someone who wants to solve clinical problems with technology and is comfortable moving between engineering and physiology. The programme is for students who want close contact with companies and who like the idea of applying academic knowledge in real settings, whether through an industry track or a project with a company.
Admission, language and next steps
Admission requirements and selection criteria are set out on the programme's own prerequisites page, and the application procedure for MSc programmes at DTU is described separately.
