Physics, Engineering and Medicine - Master's Programme
The program provides optimum prerequisites for a career as scientist in medical research, industry or clinics with a focus on medical technology, neurosciences or acoustics.
Orientation and Goals
The master's degree programme Physics, Engineering and Medicine conveys and combines practical and interdisciplinary skills from physics and electrical engineering with theoretical competencies in medicine, biology and psychology.
Through its focus on hearing and speech research, as well as neurophysics, neurotechnology and medicine, the programme offers excellent training in the field of medical technology and enables an entry into an excellent research field and diverse career options in industry, clinic and university.
The programme is linked to the Cluster of Excellence "Hearing4all" and thus has a high degree of interdisciplinarity between physics, medicine, acoustics and neurosciences. It offers early research contacts and the opportunity to work at university and extra-university institutes such as Fraunhofer, HörTech and Hörzentrum Oldenburg.
