The objective of the Master’s course in Biomedical Engineering is to train engineers who are able to respond to future challenges in the scientific and technical fields related to biomedical engineering, in a fast evolving European and world context.
On completion of their Master, students will have acquired the requisite basic knowledge in all the main fields of biomedical engineering : bioinstrumentation, biomaterials, medical imaging, mathematical modelling, artificial organs and rehabilitation, bioinformatics and biomechanics. They will have acquired advanced training in one or two of the options available.
By means of the major place left for options, students can opt for a broad profile or a more specialised one in a specific field.
Through collaboration between the Faculty of Applied Science and the Faculty of Medicine, the program aims to develop in students an interdisciplinary training where the skill of the engineer is applied in the complex and varied biomedical field.
The Master’s curriculum in Biomedical engineering will require a minimum total of 120 credits covering two years, with a minimum of 60 credits per year, and comprising :
- a common core of 30 credits
- a specialisation (30 credits)
- one or more of the 10 options offered
- electives
The final thesis is generally written during the last year. However, students may choose to take any given course in the first or second year, subject to possible prerequisites. This will be the case in particular for students pursuing part of their education abroad.
If, in the course of his (her) former curriculum, a student has already been credited with a subject included in the compulsory core curriculum, or any training deemed equivalent, this subject will be replaced by any elective course within the imposed constraints. The student is responsible for checking whether the minimum total number of credits has been reached, as well as those of the specialized field, which will appear on the final diploma.
The student’s curriculum will be scrutinized for acceptance by the Architecture engineering diploma committee.
Whatever the focus or the options chosen, the programme of this master shall total 120 credits, spread over two years of studies each of 60 credits.

PhD programmes
With its mixture of teaching and research, the GBIO Master is an ideal preparation for a PhD. The teachers involved in the Master’s programme are members of various doctoral schools which can include students wanting to continue their studies with a PhD thesis.
