Double Master

Some students want to combine two UT Master studies. The plans for the double master needs approval from both Board of Examiners (ExCie). Such a combined program usually adds up to 90EC courses, an extended Masters assignment and one internship. The final assignment has to have the characteristics of both programs. All together a three years (180EC) program that meets the requirements of both master programs. Up till now students combined BME with Applied Physics, Industrial Design Engineering and Electrical Engineering.

* This overview is just schematic. The presented 3 year is on content. The actual time needed might be longer.  The puzzle is individual and up to the student. Take into account:

  • Obligatory courses are spread through the year.
  • Overlap of courses is both in obligatory and courses of choice
  • Puzzle to fit courses in 1,5year is up to the student – excel available at study advisers
  • Internship and assignment are not fixed to quartile boundaries
  • Approval of content internship needed before the start of the internship
  • Approval of content and graduation committee needed before the start of the assignment

Master components are not fit in time and may be re-arranged. For tracks with 7 obligatory courses, a blue or yellow course less is needed for the BME part

  • Requirements start BME internship: 30 EC of BME courses completed
  • Requirements start master’s assignment: 50 EC of BME courses completed + Internship completed
  • Requirements finishing assignment: all courses + Internship completed
