Can you tell me more about the Master of Science in Biomedical
Engineering program offered by the University of Bern and the Bern
University of Applied Sciences?
-
Most information about this program is available
online.
- We also offer information events.
More information is available
here.
- If you live in Switzerland, you may come to
one of our
IEEE
EMBS events.
This is a good opportunity to learn about the biomedical engineering
field and we may discuss your questions personally.
- All information regarding admissions is
available
online.
In case that you have questions that are not answered there,
please contact the Admissions
Office of the University of Bern. If you
do not have an appropriate Swiss degree, your application has to be
evaluated by our Study Board. For this, it
is necessary that you send your complete application package to the
University of Bern.
I am interested in the major "Electronic

Bülach and Baar
- Cochlear,
Basel
- Codman
(Johnson & Johnson),
Le Locle
-
CorasMedical, Oberwil
-
Dyconex,
Bassersdorf
- Helbling
Technik, Bern
- HMT microelectronic AG,
Biel
- Intelligent
Medical Implants, Zug
- Medtronic,
Tolochenaz and Münchenbuchsee
- Novashunt,
Zug
- Phonak, Stäfa
-
Phonak Acoustic Implants, Lonay
- St. Jude Medical,
Zurich
- This list is not complete. For example, many
"traditional" implants manufacturers have recently become interested
in electronic implants, e.g., to measure forces in knee implants.

is a list of general biomedical engineering companies in
Switzerland.
How can I find a room or an apartment in the Bern/Biel area?
-
Accommodation links list of BFH
-
Accommodation links list of BFH-TI
- There are ads posted in the entrance area of the BFH-TI main
building at Quellgasse 21 in Biel.
- There is a room and apartment list available upon request at the
Zentralsekretariat of BFH-TI.
- If you cannot find a room, consider renting an apartment
together with fellow students.
Can I work for you?
-
A requirement is that a suitable project and
funding is available. Even if I do not have a project for you
right away, I may store your application and contact you later (once
a suitable project is available). If you do not require payment,
short-term internships are sometimes available in my group. This is
a good experience and sometimes a larger, paid project can be
found/defined during this time.
-
Please send me your complete application in
electronic form:
- An application letter in English (see below)
- CV with picture of yourself
- All transcripts (grades) of your studies (current and past)
- Contact information of references if available
-
Address the following questions in your
application letter (written in English!):
- What are your main areas of competence?
- How much practical experience do you have in these areas?
- In what field(s) would you like to work?
- Do you have already a project idea in mind? If yes, please
describe it.
- How many hours per week would you like to work in my group?
- When would you like to start working in my group?
- How many months do you intend to work in my group?
