Bioengineering is an interdisciplinary PhD study programme linking electronics and computer science, with medicine and biology. It includes machine learning, image and signal processing, as well as material science. The students learn how to do good research. They will learn what the current state of the art is and then extend it.
Our programme is accredited since 2019.
