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 NeuroTechnologies (NeuroTech) track trains students in neuronal engineering for careers in research, healthcare, and industry. It bridges engineering, biomedical, and health science backgrounds, equipping students with knowledge of brain function, neurological disorders, and neural technologies. The curriculum includes core courses in neuroscience, neuroengineering, and mental health, along with seminars, ethics workshops, and innovation projects. Electives offer specialization in neuroimaging, motor control, or digital tools. A research internship and training on ethical and industrial topics complete the program. Graduates are prepared for roles in academia, clinical research, tech development, and biomedical innovation.
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.
