Imaging Engineering Maastricht University

Overview

As an imaging engineer, you will revolutionise our view of the world on the microscopic level. You will stretch the use of techniques beyond their conventional applications. An MRI scanner, for example, takes images of tumours, but an imaging engineer can use the same technology to study the structures' chemical makeup. Another example: Chemists use mass spectrometers for chemical analysis, but imaging engineers can use them to image tissues and, at the same time, analyse their biochemical processes.

We designed our programme especially for you, science and engineering graduates, who want to become experts in this dynamic field. You will learn to develop and refine cutting-edge imaging techniques and experiments using state-of-the-art equipment.

Your master's degree prepares you for careers in areas like medical diagnostics, forensic imaging, materials development, and sustainable food production. 

Your future

The MSc Imaging Engineering prepares you to take on an expert role in the growing field of imaging engineering. The multi-disciplinary nature of the programme provides you with a solid scientific basis in engineering, physics, mathematics and (bio) chemistry in relation to Imaging Engineering. Moreover, your specialisation choice provides you with in-depth knowledge in either Instrumentation Imaging Engineering or Molecular Imaging Engineering. Your selection of electives will further allow you to connect disciplines and gain very relevant technical and soft skills.
