Doktortitel in Ingenieurwissenschaften - Schwerpunkt Biomedizin

The Ph.D. in Engineering provides maximum flexibility for students to address 21st-century challenges through their studies and research. Within the biomedical engineering emphasis, students tackle research problems that address the need for new biomaterials for medical devices that prevent infection and coagulation, novel stem cell therapies to combat cancer, and computational models to understand disease progression and pharmacological treatments.

Exceptional and highly motivated students with a B.S. degree who have not completed an M.S. degree may apply for direct admission to a Ph.D. program provided they have demonstrated research experience. The student’s desire and suitability to enter a Ph.D. program should be clearly articulated in their statement of purpose and in accompanying letters of recommendation.

Understanding that 21st-century engineers require more than technical knowledge, we equip students with an understanding of the social and economic impact of their work, the ability to communicate their ideas to a wide variety of people, the ability to work effectively in teams, and the skills to provide leadership in solving society’s greatest challenges. Our students are immersed in hands-on learning through design-based classroom and field experiences, undergraduate and graduate research, study abroad, co-ops, and internships. The UGA College of Engineering offers eight undergraduate and seven graduate degree programs. We also offer a variety of dual degrees and combined bachelor’s and master’s degrees.
