There are five academic BSc degrees which give direct admission to the MSc-program Biomedical Engineering: Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Marine Technology and Mechanical Engineering. However, due to the variety in specializations, each specialization can still require some additional BSc courses for admission to the specialization. There is a special enroll program for students with a BSc degree in Industrial design or civil engineering. Due to the difference in focus, there is also a special enroll program for BSc students in Biomedical Engineering from the Technical Universities in Eindhoven and Twente.

The master’s phase can also be entered after completing a BSc-program at a polytechnic high school, e.g. in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering and Human Motion Technology (Bewegingstechnologie). There is a special enroll program for these students.

 

  1. ACADEMIC BACHELOR DEGREE

 

Academic BSc-degree Applied Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Marine Technology, Civil Engineering (DUT, TUE, UT and IDEA-league)

Students holding an academic MSc-degree Applied Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering of a Dutch University of Technology (Delft, Eindhoven or Twente) or a University which belongs to the IDEA-league (ETH Zürich, Imperial College London or Technische Universität Aachen) can enter the MSc program without selection.

A student in the BSc-program is permitted to do examinations of the MSc-program, if the examination committee approves. When the student has passed the propaedeutic examination and has a study result of the second and third year of at least 100 EC, including the BSc-thesis, the student can be conditionally admitted to the MSc-program, to take part in examinations of a few MSc-courses. Final admittance is granted after completing the BSc-program.

The student can be conditionally admitted to the MSc-program, when the propaedeutic examination is passed and at least 100 EC of the second and third year of the BSc-program have been obtained. Final admittance is granted after completing the additional courses.

 

Other Academic BSc-degree from Technical University

The contents of the BSc-degree and study results of each candidate will be evaluated. The intake-coordinator of the examination committee is responsible for this selection. The selection procedure can result in:

  • admission without additional requirements

  • admission with additional requirements of no more than 14 EC. The additional requirements will be part of the elective courses of the chosen variant.

  • admission with additional requirements between 14 and 43 EC. In this case 14 EC are part of the 120 EC of the normal MSc-program and 30 EC at most are additionally required above the standard MSc-program.

  • no admission. The candidate has to obtain a relevant BSc-degree first. Within the BSc-program, exemption for some courses is possible, depending on earlier education.

  2. POLYTECHNIC (TH) BACHELOR DEGREE

 

Candidates having a BSc degree from a Dutch TH-program in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Applied Physics, Aerospace Engineering or Human Motion Technology (Bewegingstechnologie) can be admitted. A requirement is that the candidate has completed the TH-Bachelors program within 4 years, with good results. The intake-coordinator of the Examination Committee is responsible for the selection of candidates.

An additional program of 30 EC needs to be completed before the candidate is formally admitted to the MSc-program. An additional number of courses, of the second year of the BSc-programme has to be followed. These additional requirements will ensure that the student has at least an entrance level comparable to the second-course year of the Mechanical Engineering BSc-programme. The lecturer of the chosen variant and specialization may require that also a number of third year courses of the BSc-programme, in the field of the specialization is followed. Candidates are admitted to the pre-MSc-programme. This means that both the pre-MSc-programme and MSc courses can be followed. Final admission to the MSc-programme is given after completing the pre-MSc-programme. Courses are given in Dutch. A summary of additional courses and requirement is in Dutch.

It is recommended that TH students with a background in Electrical Engineering or Applied Mathematics choose the BME specialisation Biomedical Instrumentation. TH students with a background in Applied Physics are recommended to choose the BME specialisations Medical Imaging or Clinical Physics. TH students with a background in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or Human Motion Technology (Bewegingstechnologie) are recommended to choose the BME specialisations Medical Instruments and Medical Safety, Biomechatronics or Tissue Biomechanics and Implants. For the admission requirements of these specialisations, see next page.

These above subjects will be chosen in agreement with the MSc Coordinator according to the individual profile of the student and the schedule of the courses. The proposed upgrade program has to be approved by the Examination Committee.
