Specialty – Bio-Medical (BM)
The Biomedical (BM) specialty aims to train general engineers with both the technical and scientific knowledge of an engineer and an understanding of health technologies.
Description
Programme
Students in GB-BM acquire training in medical technologies and medicine; the first year proses this double base. In the second year, the students add on sub-specialties: physiology, medical instruments, electronics and computer sciences, sensors and physiological signal analysis, medical imaging processing, artificial organs and bio-rheology, functional patient exploration protocols, quality assessment, maintenance and regulations.
Research
Research focuses on medical applications, from signal and bio-medical image analysis to diagnosis, multi-scale and multi-physical modelling of the processes involved and medical instrument innovation.
Placements and industrial relations
GB-BM students spend 6 months on placements and 6 months on their end-of-studies project work (in most instances, in a hospital environment and in an associate industrial sector).
Professional openings
GB- BM students are usually hired by major medical groups (GE Healthcare, Philips Medical Systems, Siemens, Baxter, Medtronic, …), SMEs in the bio-medical fields or in large research institutions (CNRS, INSERM, Universities). They can also find employment in hospitals (as public servants or in a private status).
