Your future career
Career fields
................................................................................................................................................................................................
Biomedical engineering is a future-oriented technology. It is one of the largest growth sectors in the Hamburg region as well as nationwide and worldwide.
Key technologies such as imaging processes, computer-aided communication techniques and minimally invasive techniques in surgery are in the early stages of market development. A strong customer orientation also ensures good employment prospects in the globalisation of the markets.
Occupational fields
Typical jobs for biomedical engineers include:
- Marketing, product management and sales
- Development and service
- Application of medical devices
- Device management and maintenance planning
- Medical device and safety consulting
- Quality assurance and training
- Hospital planning and setup
- Clinical research
Customer proximity is characteristic of the majority of occupational fields and professional activities. Biomedical engineers are primarily concerned with device application, marketing and product management as well as the practical development of medical-technical devices.
The Master of Science qualification in particular enables scientific work in research and development and provides graduates with important prerequisites for carrying out independent scientific work up to the doctoral level.
