MSE Master of Science in Engineering

The Swiss engineering master's degree


Chaque module vaut 3 ECTS. Vous sélectionnez 10 modules/30 ECTS parmi les catégories suivantes:

  • 12-15 crédits ECTS en Modules technico-scientifiques (TSM)
    Les modules TSM vous transmettent une compétence technique spécifique à votre orientation et complètent les modules de spécialisation décentralisés.
  • 9-12 crédits ECTS en Bases théoriques élargies (FTP)
    Les modules FTP traitent de bases théoriques telles que les mathématiques élevées, la physique, la théorie de l’information, la chimie, etc., vous permettant d’étendre votre profondeur scientifique abstraite et de contribuer à créer le lien important entre l’abstraction et l’application dans le domaine de l’innovation.
  • 6-9 crédits ECTS en Modules contextuels (CM)
    Les modules CM vous transmettent des compétences supplémentaires dans des domaines tels que la gestion des technologies, la gestion d’entreprise, la communication, la gestion de projets, le droit des brevets et des contrats, etc.

Medical Device Market Access (TSM_MedDMA)

The course provides an in-depth overview on all relevant aspects for successfully introducing a medical device into the market. It will make use of the Stanford biodesign principle to evaluate the clinical need and concept development with respect to regulation and the specific medical device market restrictions. The corresponding topics include the important tasks during the development of a medical device (prior market access) as well as after its placement on the market.

Compétences préalables

This course requires knowledge about

  • technical design methods
  • mathematical statistics/data analysis
  • basic knowledge about standardization
