Additional information:
All modules in the Master's program are taught in English. However, students must include an A2 level German language certificate with their application. This is required for safety reasons as part of communication with lab technicians, etc. Students who do not have a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering will have to take additional modules in Biomedical Engineering in order to have sufficient knowledge to complete the Master's program. These modules are taught in German. Therefore, the applicants must have German B2 or TestDaF 3.
