Biomedical Engineering

During the first two semesters, in total 60 ECTS, each university gives course elements on basic BME-topics. The content of those two semesters, offered by each consortium university is comparable and will contain the following:

	Medical course elements	Anatomy and Histology (Patho)physiology Ethics
	General engineering course elements	Methodical Design Project Management Biochemistry Bio transport Working culture
	Engineering course elements, focused on diagnostics	Imaging Techniques Biomedical Instrumentation Signal Analysis
	Engineering course elements, focused on therapy	Cell Biology Biomaterials Biomechanics

These course elements define the basic level of competence of students. With these courses the student can follow every specialisation, offered in the third semester. When a student already followed a course element in the Bachelor’s training, (s)he will choose an elective course element, offered by the university.

Traineeship

A traineeship has to be followed in a hospital or industry. All universities of the consortium have an extensive network of contacts in hospitals and industries. You can think about a traineeship at one of the following companies:

• Philips Medical Systems
  
• Siemens
  
• Medtronic
  
• Otto Bock
  
• Aesculap
  
• DePuy
  
• Linet
  
• BTL
  

Moreover we will use the extensive Eucomed network of European medical technology industries.  And we will use the EEN-network of mainly SME-companies.
Each university organises traineeships for the students that are running semester 1 and 2. As a student, you should discuss your traineeship with the local coordinator.
