About the programme

Neural Engineering is an English-taught Master of Science (M.Sc.) at htw saar, the University of Applied Sciences Saarland, lasting 3 semesters. The field merges neuroscience and engineering to understand, interface with and influence the nervous system. You study the interfaces between the human nervous system and technology: biosignal and image processing for diagnostics, control of brain-computer interfaces, intraoperative neuromonitoring, and electrically active implants such as cochlear implants. Courses are taught in blocks. You can start on 1 April (summer) or 1 October (winter); winter starters are admitted into the second semester. Requirements include a Bachelor's of 210 ECTS in biomedical, electrical or mechanical engineering, computer science or a related field; with 180 ECTS you must pass selected Biomedical Engineering Bachelor's modules worth 30 ECTS. It suits engineers with strong grades and an interest in research projects.
