Medical Engineering B.Eng.

Every second counts, every move counts: doctors fight for the lives of their patients every day. Medical devices such as heart-lung machines, dialysis machines and infusion pumps support them in this endeavour. Whether artificial joints or synthetic organs, doctors must be able to rely one hundred per cent on the quality of the medical technology products they use for their patients. Medicine without technology is unthinkable today. Technicians and engineers are constantly driving forward research in the field of medical technology. After all, the aim is to save lives and improve quality of life.

As a result, medical technology has developed into a key technology worldwide. It builds on the foundations of engineering sciences and thus combines medical, technical and biological expertise. Only through interdisciplinary collaboration can scientists develop tailor-made solutions to the problems arising from the increasing mechanisation of medicine. Medical technology is one of the most innovative sectors in Germany. But that's not all: in a global comparison, Germany is the third largest producer of medical technology goods - after the USA and Japan.

At FH Aachen, you will study in a practical, well-founded and at the same time research-orientated way. Whether in cooperation with industry, the Jülich Research Centre or the Bioengineering Competence Platform: you will always find an exciting topic for your research projects, Bachelor's and Master's theses or cooperative doctorates - curiosity and a thirst for research are all you need.
