Course overview
The BioMedical Engineering (BME-Paris) Master provides a 2-year education program in the field of bioengineering, at the crossroad of biomedical and engineering sciences. The common M1 (year 1) program is designed to strengthen and broaden students’ skills in engineering, digital sciences, and biomedical disciplines, addressing contemporary health challenges. Year 1 provides essential fundamental and practical knowledge, equipping students with an interdisciplinary background before they can choose among 4 specialized tracks in the second year (M2).
The M2 BME-Paris BioImaging (BIM) is an exciting and growing field overlapping the interfaces of engineering, mathematics and computer science, as well as chemistry, physics, life science, and medicine. The main goal of bioimaging is to improve human health by using imaging modalities to advance diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of human diseases.
During the M1, students pursue a compulsory 2-4 month work placement. During the M2, they pursue a compulsory 5-month work placement in an academic, hospital or industrial research laboratory.
