About the Program

Modern medicine is unimaginable without technical devices such as ECGs machines, ventilators or pacemakers. Hospitals and doctors' surgeries depend on high-performance medical technology to make diagnoses and carry out treatments. Medical technicians work on the (further) development of such devices with innovative methods and technologies. The bachelor's degree programme in medical technology offers a sound basic study programme followed by a choice of specialisation in "electrical medical technology" or "mechanical medical technology". Electrical medical technology deals with the electrical signals in the human body and the techniques for measuring these and all bodily functions of a patient with electrical and physical methods. In the specialisation "Mechanical Medical Technology", the focus is on the development and construction of medical (auxiliary) devices and the testing of medical devices. The course content includes a balanced combination of medical knowledge, mathematical and scientific engineering knowledge and medical technology expertise. Economic, societal and social aspects of medical technology are also taught in the degree programme.
