Medical Engineering
Medical Engineering
Medical Engineering deals with the development of devices, systems and technical processes for medicine. It combines the extensive engineering knowledge with the expertise of physicians and nursing professionals, e.g. in the areas of diagnostics, therapy and care. The typical application scenarios of Medical Engineering are acute and inpatient medical care, point-of-care diagnostics, rehabilitation and modern assistance systems for an aging society. Medical Engineering has a strong interdisciplinary orientation and represents one of the most modern perspectives in the engineering sciences.
The Faculty of Engineering at the University of Duisburg-Essen, together with the Faculty of Medicine, offers an interdisciplinary, consecutive study program in Medical Engineering, consisting of a Bachelor's program, in which the medical and engineering fundamentals are taught, followed by a Master's program, which develops the systemic, device and therapeutic aspects of Medical Engineering in greater depth and in a research-oriented manner.
