About this programme
Engineering and medicine are taught together: modules include Medical Imaging, Tissue biology for Medical Engineering, Signal and Systems, Mathematics 2 and Medicine and ethics. Materials play a visible role too, with Bionics - biomimetic Materials and Polymers, Design and Dimensioning of Plastic Components 1 and polymer processing courses on injection moulding and modelling. Hygiene and biosafety and a course on medical law add the regulatory side.
The Bachelor of Science in Linz is full-time and runs 6 semesters and 180 ECTS credits. The programme lists both German and English as languages, and German at B2 is an entry requirement. A students' union contribution of €26.20 per semester applies in 2026/27.
