About the programme
The M.Sc. Medical Engineering at the University of Duisburg-Essen is a four-semester, two-year programme worth 120 credits on the Duisburg and Essen campuses, taught in German, with a start in the winter or summer semester. It offers a second professional qualification in medical engineering, deepening what you learned in your first degree and teaching you to apply, analyse and further develop scientific methods for complex problems in medical technology. You also learn to communicate on an equal footing with medical professionals and engineers. Two master's profiles let you examine current topics in medical engineering closely linked to the research of the faculty's departments and institutes. Through electives, project work and the master's thesis, you prepare to take on project responsibility and leadership, and learn to select and apply methods to design components, devices and systems in your chosen profile.
