    Biomedical Computing (BMC)

    About

    Computer-assisted medical imaging technology plays a crucial role in modern clinical environments, as medical diagnosis and treatment are increasingly supported by imaging procedures. Consequently, there is a growing demand for specialists in this field, situated at the intersection of computer science and medicine. The dynamic field of biomedical computing, thus, combines computer science with aspects of biology and medicine. A master's in Biomedical Computing qualifies graduates for a range of exciting careers in research institutes or industry, in both theoretical and application-oriented fields. 

    For a comprehensive description of the program, please refer to the degree program documentation:

    • Degree program documentation for the master's program in Biomedical Computing (PDF) 
    The master's program in Biomedical Computing combines computer science with aspects of biology and medicine. It is an interdisciplinary program involving both the TUM Department of Informatics and the TUM School of Medicine.
