The mobility of this Master's course makes it possible to switch between up to three universities and countries in a total of two years. This mobility is set up for two reasons:
-
To show a glimpse of the culture, health care organisation and industries of another country and thus to bring the Master’s course to a higher international level.
-
To allow to react quickly on new developments in Biomedical Engineering. Nanotechnology and regenerative medicine are examples of such new developments. Scholars, experienced in these fields can be attracted to inform and teach our students about these topics.
As a student, you can indicate at which university to do the first two semesters (60 ECTS of basic course elements on BME), where to do the third semester (30 ECTS specialisation) and where to do the fourth semester (30 ECTS Master’s project). At least two different universities have to be chosen, but every combination is possible. In this way, the student has a maximum freedom to create a Master’s course and to follow the preferred specialisation.
Boundaries within the mobility
For the final decision, local regulations at consortium member universities have to be followed:
-
