Master in Medical Systems Engineering (MSE)

Medical Systems Engineering at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg is an interdisciplinary programme that combines multiple engineering disciplines with a continuous focus on medical application. Building on the engineering foundations from a technical Bachelor's degree, the programme provides in-depth study of medical technology, medical informatics, and medical physics. Students can specialise in medical imaging, neuroscience, medical interventions, or deep learning. The programme runs over 4 semesters, starting in the summer semester. Compulsory modules in the first semester cover the basics of the different areas of medical technology. From the second semester onward, students choose from focus modules to specialise, with options including Radiation and Medical Physics, Magnetic Resonance Theory and Engineering, Mechanical and Flow Simulation, Medical Visualisations and Interventions, AI in Image and Signal Processing, Physiological and Biological Systems and Modelling, Microsystems Engineering, and Orthopedic Engineering. Research-oriented students can pursue a Research Track from the second semester, undertaking a 15-credit-point research project in cooperation with universities, research institutions, or companies. The programme also includes close contact with the Magdeburg University Hospital, giving students the opportunity to observe clinical work, identify existing problems, and develop solutions. The programme is offered at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg in Magdeburg, Germany.
