BSc in Biomedical Engineering

To realize future health care, biomedical engineers that are trained on the crossroad of engineering and medical and biological sciences are required. As a student, you will be trained to work in multidisciplinary teams, to have a broad overview, to create innovative devices and to perform research that forms a basis for better and more sustainable healthcare (in terms of costs and manpower). You will be both researcher and designer, the best basis for an academic professional.

Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics

This is merely an indication of the required general level of applicants' previous education. Biology is recommended.

Proficiency in English is an admission requirement for all English-taught degree programmes.

You need to complete 180 credit hours to successfully obtain this degree. Please check detail of study units at https://www.rug.nl/bachelors/biomedical-engineering/#!programme

In the first year you learn basic knowledge and skills in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and Engineering Design. In the diagram above you see some courses you can expect.

In the second year you will be further trained as a Biomedical Engineer and will become acquainted with Imaging Techniques (MRI, CT), on Designing Medical Devices and on Biomaterials for Implants and Tissue Engineering. In the third year you start focusing on one of these three topics to gain more in-depth expertise; you will gain experience in research and in big data opportunities, and finally you will run a full project on your own.

Biomedical Engineering offers you the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge about a broad range of topics offered by the University of Groningen. In addition, we offer you state-of-the-art medical facilities of the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG), where several lectures and practicals are organized.

You can join one of the following careers:

• Biomedical Engineer
