Master’s Program

Master Program in Biomedical Engineering

The Health Engineering Master’s program (BME Paris) is designed to provide a two-year education in the field of bioengineering, at the intersection of biomedical sciences and engineering sciences. It results from a partnership between Université Paris Cité and Arts et Métiers.

Two Institutions, One Vision

The Master’s program is based on a distinctive partnership that fosters an interdisciplinary approach, encourages student initiatives and promotes a global perspective. This policy is supported by the top-level and complementary expertise and know-how of the two partners: engineering science in the engineering school within Arts et Métiers, on the one hand, and biomedical and health science at Université Paris Cité, on the other.

Faculty & Expert Contributors

The teaching staff are primarily drawn from the partner institutions. Guest lecturers include hospital clinicians from APHP and researchers from other schools and academic institutions as well as from private companies (e.g. GE Healthcare, Philips Healthcare, Renault, Sanofi, Thalès, Materialise Medical, etc.).

Learning outcomes

The BME Paris Master offers an exemplary program of excellence designed for students from diverse backgrounds, including biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering, medicine, pharmacy, health sciences and computer sciences. The primary objectives of the Master’s program are:

While the second year (M2) offers five specialization tracks, the first year (M1) is devoted to strengthening and broadening students’ skills in specific engineering and biomedical subjects.

Students receive guidance on their selection of teaching units, ensuring they are current with essential science subjects that might not have been covered in their prior studies. For example, engineering students may focus on physiology and anatomy, whereas biology or medical students may focus into signal processing and mechanics.

An Interdisciplinary Master in Biomedical Engineering

The first year of the BME-Paris (M1) program welcomes students from diverse bachelor’s backgrounds, including biology, chemistry, physics, digital sciences, mathematics, engineering, medicine, pharmacy, physiotherapy, sports, and other health-related fields. Typically, over 70% of our students are international, representing around 20 different nationalities.

Innovation In Digital Health

All students are trained in a common core of competencies, regardless of their chosen  M2 specialization.

These include scientific communication, research methodology, health data science, biomedical innovation, and the ethical, industrial and environmental aspects of biomedical engineering. Additionally, students have the option of receiving certification in digital health.

Two 2-month-long (or a single 4-month-long, if performed abroad) internships in M1 and one 5- to 6-month-long internship in M2  are a mandatory part of the program. Internships typically occur in academic labs affiliated with partner institutions. They can also be undertaken in R&D departments of major companies,  biomedical startups, or hospitals.
