Annotation
Sustainability, digitalisation and artificial intelligence are changing medical and health technologies.
The industry is evolving rapidly. It needs new, innovative solutions – for example:
intelligent systems that control processes sustainably
Networked digital product passports, for sustainable lifecycle management
New materials that conserve resources
Modular concepts for 9R strategies (reuse, remanufacture, etc.)
These changes bring new challenges for engineers – but also exciting opportunities to help shape healthcare in a sustainable way.
Our Master’s degree programme is aimed at engineers who would like to gain a further qualification and specialise.
What's special:
