Complementary Skills

Students are required to select all mandatory courses and 2-6 ECTS credits from the electives courses.

Module description

Apart from the rapid development of technology itself, today’s biomedical engineers are increasingly challenged by complementary issues like ethical aspects, project planning, quality assurance, product safety, legal regulations and intellectual property rights, as well as marketing aspects. Language competence in English is of paramount importance both in an industrial and academic environment. This situation is accounted for by the module “Complementary Skills” where students are required to complete two mandatory courses (Innovation Management; Regulatory Affairs and Patents) as well as 2-6 ECTS credits from the list of electives courses (Scientific Writing in Biomedical Engineering; Epidemiology and Health Technology Assessment; Ethics in Biomedical Engineering).
