Study programme 2013-2014

Teaching and training



 The Master’s curriculum in biomedical engineering will consist of at least 120 credits covering two years, with a minimum of 60 credits per year, and comprising :
- a core curriculum (30 credits)
- a specialization curriculum (30 credits)
- one or more options chosen amongst the suggested options
- elective courses.
The final thesis is generally written during the last year. However, depending on their specific training objectives, 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 elective courses, while conforming to 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 submitted for acceptance by the relevant program committee.


Whatever the focus or the options chosen, the programme of this master shall totalize 120 credits, spread over two years of studies each of 60 credits.
