Medical Systems Engineering (MSE)

With the interdisciplinary Master's degree in Medical Systems Engineering, the Otto von Guericke University (OVGU) offers a combination of different engineering disciplines with a constant focus on the application of knowledge from these disciplines in the field of medicine. The engineering fundamentals gained from a technical Bachelor's degree will be expanded accordingly in the Master's degree. Based on this prior knowledge of engineering and natural sciences, the Master's programme offers in-depth studies of medical systems engineering, in particular medical technology, medical informatics, and medical physics. In addition, the various consolidations during the studies offer students the possibility to apply the acquired knowledge to real medical questions. The students can specialise and gain broad knowledge in the following fields: medical imaging, neuroscience, medical interventions, and deep learning. Due to close contact with the Magdeburg University Hospital, the students have the extraordinary chance to take part in surgeries and see the daily clinical work, recognise existing problems, and develop solutions that support or help the physician and/or patients.
