The work of biomedical engineers centres on addressing medical and biological challenges through the application of technical and engineering principles. The Biomedical Engineering (BMT) Master’s programme is research-oriented. Its primary objective is to provide advanced, interdisciplinary training at the interface of electrical engineering, computer science, and health sciences.
- How it is organised
- The Master’s programme is structured into core, specialisation, practical, seminar, and complementary modules. Students have the opportunity to choose a specialisation aligned with their academic interests.
- Study abroad
- Students can complete a semester abroad. Course recognition will be determined in advance through a Learning Agreement.
- Part-time work
- Student assistant jobs are regularly offered by institutes in all faculties as well as in the central administration.
From your country
General requirements for master's applicants. Rules change — confirm with the university and your local German mission.
🇮🇳 Applying from India
- An APS India certificate is mandatory before your visa appointment — processing takes weeks, so start it the day you decide to apply.
- Budget for the blocked account (€11,904 for one year in 2026 — verify the current amount with the German Embassy).
- IELTS/TOEFL is typically required; some universities accept a Medium-of-Instruction letter — check the official program page.
🇳🇬 Applying from Nigeria
- Proof of funds is usually a blocked account; open it early — transfers and verification take time.
- WAEC/NECO results are assessed via uni-assist for most universities; a Studienkolleg year may be required for bachelor's entry.
- Visa appointment slots in Lagos and Abuja book out months ahead — book as soon as you have an admission letter.
🇻🇳 Applying from Vietnam
- APS Vietnam certification applies to Vietnamese applicants — schedule the document check before university deadlines.
- Most universities want IELTS 6.0–6.5 for English-taught programs; requirements vary by program.
- Plan finances around the blocked account plus health insurance — both are checked at the visa stage.
🇧🇩 Applying from Bangladesh
- Document verification is strict: keep certificates, transcripts, and bank papers consistent and genuine — discrepancies sink applications.
- The blocked account is the standard proof of funds. You do not need an admission letter to open one, so set it up alongside your applications.
- Apply to several programs in parallel — visa processing in Dhaka can be slow, and an early admission letter buys you time.
Living in Ulm
A mid-sized city on the Danube where the university sits on a hill, a short walk from lecture hall to laboratory to canteen.
Ulm is a city of about 130,000 people on the upper Danube, on the border with Bavaria; the town across the river, Neu-Ulm, is already in another state.
