Academic Admission

Entrance requirement for this MSc Biomedical Engineering study programme is an undergraduate degree from a national or international university – Medicine, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Engineering or in a related study by which the educational requirements can be proven. A change from one university to another university is easier than from a university of applied sciences to a university. Undergraduate degrees are only acceptable from universities that are accredited by the state, in which the university is located or through officially recognised procedures. The educational requirements of the undergraduate degrees should include knowledge (90 credit points (CP) of the European Credit Transfer System) in the fields of Engineering, Mathematics / Natural Sciences with at least the following CP in these four fields: Mathematics: 20 CP advanced mathematics; linear algebra (vector analysis and tensor analysis), analysis (differential calculus and integral calculus) numeric methods Chemistry: 20 CP advanced chemistry; anorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, physical chemistry Biology: 20 CP advanced biology; human cell biology, genetics, microbiology, molecular biology, human physiology, human anatomy Physics and Engineering Technology: 30 CP advanced physics; mechanics, electrotechnics, thermodynamics, nuclear physics, solid state physics, static and dynamic In each field, students need at least 50% of the mentioned credits. If one or more subjects have less than 50% of the needed credits, the application will be rejected. A student can have up to a maximum of 20 missing credits in total and still will be accepted . This means that if 20 credits are missing, a total of four additional modules must be taken during the Master's degree. This can extend the duration of the programme up to one or two semesters. If a student has more than 20 credits missing, the application will be rejected. To fulfil the above-mentioned requirements, we advise students to take the missing modules at their home university in time (best between the third to fifth Bachelor's semester). Be aware that we can only accept your modules if they are successfully passed and certificated from the home university and handed in during the application period. Please note that you can apply for this programme if you complete your Bachelor's degree before 1 October and have enough credits in all four areas by the end of the application period. As a non-EU applicant, you have to successfully pass the Graduate Record Examination Test (GRE). Only GRE general tests will be accepted. In the quantitative part you need at least 160 points.
