Study Medical Device Technology
NEW STUDY PLAN: This means more flexibility and a focus on the latest technologies, technically broad know-how for classic medical products such as computer tomographs and pacemakers as well as for new fields of technology in personalized medicine - the Medical Device Technology degree program offers you all of this. Bionic prostheses, bioprinting, assistive robot technologies, thought control and artificial intelligence are dynamic fields of technology that are helping medicine to treat people more and more efficiently. Students learn state-of-the-art technologies for the design and manufacture of this latest generation of medical products and can apply them directly in practice.
Rising life expectancy, demographic trends and the services provided by modern medicine are driving the use of medical technology devices. In addition to the classic areas of application for diagnosis and therapy in hospitals, rehabilitation technology, care and prevention with outpatient services and care at home are becoming increasingly important. As the link between technology and medicine, specialists in modern medical technology must have excellent specialist knowledge as well as high transfer and social skills. Medical technology companies, research institutions and regulatory authorities are looking for highly qualified medical technicians. They are needed for development, production, quality assurance as well as for product management, as application specialists and medical device consultants. The focus here is on technical expertise combined with medical knowledge and legal knowledge. In hospital medical technology, qualified personnel are required for the support, maintenance, tendering and purchasing of medical devices. Technical know-how, economic foresight and knowledge of the relevant standards and laws are success factors in this field.
