    About

    Biomedical engineering involves developing solutions to issues from current clinical practice for the benefit of the patient. The subject covers the entire spectrum from research and development to practical applications in diagnostics and patient therapy. Since the degree program is based on engineering, Biomedical Engineering is established at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. A unique range of courses is offered, thanks to exchange with other faculties and alliances with Hannover Medical School and the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Foundation. The degree program was established in order to give future engineers sound, interdisciplinary technical and medical knowledge.

    Interdisciplinary thought is a basic requirement for success in biomedical engineering. Students should be keen to gain a broad, interdisciplinary knowledge base and have an interest in other subject areas outside the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Foreign language skills are recommended but not essential.
