Engineer’s degree Specializing in Biomedical Engineering
The course
The Biomedical Engineering specialty at EIDD offers students the acquisition of multidisciplinary skills at the interface of engineering sciences, life sciences, medicine and regulation, with solid operational capabilities. It thus aims to train engineers through apprenticeships intended to operate in all branches of medical devices: medical equipment and equipment, connected devices, implantable devices.
Via our apprenticeship courses, you can train in development, production, quality, regulatory affairs, legal, health economics, clinical research, pharmacovigilance and marketing.

Effectuer une mobilité en Europe ou à l’international, est l’occasion :
-de découvrir une autre culture et une autre façon de travailler ;
-d’améliorer vos compétences linguistiques et culturelles en situation de travail ;
-d’enrichir vos pratiques professionnelles par la découverte d’outils et de techniques propres au pays d’accueil.
Une mobilité internationale est une expérience professionnelle très valorisante. Cela apporte un réel atout à un candidat qui peut faire la différence pour une embauche.
Pendant la période de mobilité à l’étranger, le principe de l’alternance inhérent au contrat ne s’applique plus. Les étudiants ne sont pas tenus d’alterner enseignements et périodes de formation en entreprise, de sorte qu’ils peuvent réaliser uniquement de la formation en entreprise ou uniquement des enseignements en organisme de formation lors de leur séjour à l’étranger.
