Move to the Elbe for medical technology
In Magdeburg, on the banks of the Elbe, a close connection between theory and practice flourishes, attracting budding medical technicians. Interdisciplinary cooperation, together with various institutions such as the university, research institutes and companies, is making more and more advanced tools for diagnoses and therapies available in medicine.
The University of Magdeburg offers a bachelor's degree program in medical engineering that addresses precisely these challenges. Here, engineering and healthcare merge in a unique degree program. Subjects such as electrical engineering, physics, mathematics, anatomy and computer science are the focus. The close cooperation at the Research Campus STIMULATE in Magdeburg's Port of Science is particularly impressive. Innovative research and development work is being carried out there to develop groundbreaking solutions and imaging technologies for medical procedures.
Two dedicated students, Anna Kötter and Max Knobus, made a conscious decision to move to Magdeburg last year. Although they initially began their medical technology studies in southern Germany, they found that their expectations were not met there. The University of Magdeburg convinced them by directly linking technical and medical study content as well as practice-oriented projects that prepared them for the real world of work. Despite the move, they were impressed by the quality of teaching and the interpersonal relationship.
After two semesters, they draw a positive balance. The student advisors and the supportive student council played a major role in making them feel comfortable and well cared for. They also see promising prospects after graduation, especially due to the developments at the Research Campus STIMULATE. Medical technology companies are settling there and offer exciting career opportunities.
With a degree in medical technology, various career paths are open to them, be it in research, software development or product and quality management. In addition, there is the option to deepen their studies in the appropriate master's program at the University of Magdeburg. The future of medical technology in Magdeburg promises exciting opportunities, and students are ready to embark on this exciting path.
