Master’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering

The Master’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering, officially known as Science & Technology for Health (ST4Health), is a two-year interdisciplinary graduate program at Université PSL in Paris, France. Hosted by ESPCI Paris–PSL, the program combines biomedical sciences, engineering, medicine, physics, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and life sciences to prepare students for careers in healthcare innovation and biomedical research. Taught entirely in English, it provides advanced scientific and technical training at the intersection of engineering and medical technologies. The program benefits from collaborations with MINES Paris–PSL, Chimie ParisTech–PSL, ENS–PSL, EPHE–PSL, Institut Curie, and other research institutions. Affiliated with PSL’s Graduate Programs in Engineering (ISAI) and Life Sciences, ST4Health emphasizes interdisciplinary research, practical innovation, and collaboration between scientific, medical, and industrial professionals.

Curriculum, Specializations, and Career Opportunities

The first year provides foundational training in engineering and medical sciences through a common curriculum and specialized courses tailored to students’ academic backgrounds. In the second year, students choose among three specializations: Biomaterials & Engineering for Health (BEH), AI & Digital Health (AIH), and Digital Mental Health (DMH). Practical research experience forms an important part of the program, including two two-month internships or one four-month international internship during Master Year 1, followed by a five- to six-month research internship during Master Year 2. Students may complete these placements in university research laboratories, hospitals, biomedical startups, or industrial research and development departments. Applicants from scientific disciplines such as biology, physics, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, medicine, pharmacy, and other health sciences are eligible, while appropriately qualified students may apply directly to the second year. Graduates can pursue doctoral research, biomedical engineering, healthcare technology development, medical innovation, and research and development careers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and healthtech sectors. The program also supports further medical education and opportunities in healthcare and medical technology management.
