What you will study
What you study
The Master's in Biomedical Engineering at TU Graz is taught in English and lasts four semesters (120 ECTS). You build on your bachelor's knowledge and specialise in medical technology. You pick one of five technical catalogues as your major: Biomechanics: Modeling and Simulation; Biomedical Instrumentation and Sensors; Biomedical Imaging and Sensing; Computational Neuroscience; or Biomedical Device Design, Safety and Regulation. As a minor you can take another technical catalogue or the non-technical one, which includes Bioinformatics. The programme also gives you access to research labs: a BCI Lab with an arm-robot, EEG and fNIRS measurement devices, a 3T magnet resonance scanner, a cellular electrophysiology lab, a research lab for biomechanics, and a lab for nuclear quadrupole spectroscopy. Guest lectures from academia and industry are part of the programme, and student initiatives such as the Graz BCI Racing Team work on brain-computer interfaces.
How the programme is organised
You complete 120 ECTS over four semesters. The curriculum sets out the semester plan. You choose a major from the five technical catalogues and a minor from another technical catalogue or the non-technical catalogue. Projects and master's theses have practical applications and are often carried out with companies in the medical technology sector, research institutions such as AIT, and clinics. Some theses have led to patents. The programme has links with scientific institutions such as UMC Utrecht and European BCI groups, and the MRI Club Graz connects doctoral students from the Medical University of Graz, University of Graz and TU Graz. The Austrian Society for Biomedical Engineering (ÖGBMT) awards a sponsorship prize for excellent master's theses and dissertations.
Who it suits
This programme suits you if you have a relevant bachelor's degree and want to develop technical solutions for health care. You should be comfortable with interdisciplinary work that combines engineering and life sciences. The programme is especially important nationally and internationally, and graduates are in demand in industry, service companies, the public sector, and in science, research and teaching. If you are interested in brain-computer interfaces, medical imaging, sensors or regulatory affairs, the five majors let you focus. The student team Graz BCI Racing Team is one example of the hands-on projects you can join.

What the register says
Specialisations in five elective subjects follow a well-founded interdisciplinary basic education in the bachelor’s programme. These are Biomechanical Engineering, Biomedical Instrumentation and Sensors, Biomedical Imaging and Sensing, Computational Neuroscience and Health Care Engineering. The curriculum allows a comparatively large degree of freedom in choosing course content and prepares the students for independence and initiative in interdisciplinary thinking, decision-making and action.
