Can I study the Master’s program Medical Engineering at FAU completely in English?

Yes, but only the branches of study “Medical Image and Data Processing”, “Health and Medical Data Analytics“ and “Medical Robotics” are taught in English. These branches of study focus on programming, pattern recognition, algorithms and data structures or robotics. Please be aware that a students with English and German skills have a bigger variety of lectures to choose from, as some optional courses are in German. We also highly recommend that you take at least a basic German course before you start your studies at FAU. It will make dealing with administrative matters a lot easier.

Our other two branches of study, “Medical Devices and Prosthetics” and “Medical Electronics”, are taught in German only and require very advanced German skills (DSH 2 or TestDaF 4, but also keep in mind that academic vocabulary is more difficult to understand than daily life German).

If you only fulfill the English requirements, please make sure that you choose one of the English branches when you apply for the Master’s program, otherwise we will have to reject your application.
