Evaluations of study programs

The Master’s program in Biomedical Engineering was established in 2006. Since 2023, the program is part of the School of Biomedical and Precision Engineering founded in the frame of a collaborative agreement between the University of Bern and the Bern University of Applied Sciences.

The objective of the 2026 evaluation was to assess the current status of the BME Master’s program and to identify opportunities for its future development. The evaluation aimed to collect perspectives from key stakeholders, including students, alumni, lecturers, clinicians, industry representatives, and international academic experts. The results of the evaluation are intended to support evidence-based decision-making and contribute to the continuous improvement of the program.

The Faculty of Medicine began awarding master's degrees in Biomedical Sciences in 2011. Graduates of the program have a broad and up-to-date knowledge of human biomedicine, as well as comprehensive skills in modern research methods.

The program is evaluated twice a year, at the end of each semester, by the Dean's Office. This is done via an online survey. In the spring semester of 2024, two surveys were conducted: one for module coordinators (lecturers) and one for students. The student survey was repeated in spring 2025 with a new cohort.
