Biomedical Engineering (BME) is about the design and development of technology in healthcare. Our multidisciplinary domain enables us to make innovative contributions across a wide spectrum.

BME is an interdisciplinary field, combining engineering and natural and life sciences. As a biomedical engineer, you will integrate scientific and engineering concepts and methodology to advance scientific knowledge and solve healthcare problems.

Technology plays an important role in prevention, diagnosis, therapy and rehabilitation. Biomedical research results in new techniques to repair damaged tissue such as bone and skin. It helps create drugs with targeted effects and equips doctors with improved imaging techniques for more effective diagnosis, as well as offering patient-focused solutions in rehabilitation technology.

The Master’s at the University of Twente is an academic programme that will prepare you for a job as a biomedical engineer in healthcare, industry or research institutions including PhD positions, in settings that range from hospitals and rehabilitation centres to enterprises, small medical technology companies and laboratories. You might also pursue a career in consultancy, management or policy, working in the government sector, insurance, quality assurance, or education. A postgraduate position as a researcher is yet another fascinating option.
