Présentation
The Health Engineering Master’s program (BME Paris) is designed to provide a two-year education in the field of bioengineering, at the intersection of biomedical sciences and engineering sciences. It results from a partnership between Université Paris Cité and Arts et Métiers .
The Master’s program is based on a distinctive partnership that fosters an interdisciplinary approach, encourages student initiatives and promotes a global perspective. This policy is supported by the top-level and complementary expertise and know-how of the two partners: engineering science in the engineering school within Arts et Métiers, on the one hand, and biomedical and health science at Université Paris Cité, on the other.
The teaching staff are primarily drawn from the partner institutions. Guest lecturers include hospital clinicians from APHP and researchers from other schools and academic institutions as well as from private companies (e.g. GE Healthcare, Philips Healthcare, Renault, Sanofi, Thalès, Materialise Medical, etc.).
Learning outcomes
The BME Paris Master offers an exemplary program of excellence designed for students from diverse backgrounds, including biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering, medicine, pharmacy, health sciences and computer sciences. The primary objectives of the Master’s program are:
- to provide students with the knowledge and tools required in a wide range of the biomedical engineering fields
- to foster a fruitful collaborative spirit between engineering and medical students, with the ultimate goal of bridging the existing « culture gap » between the corresponding professions.
While the second year (M2) offers five specialization tracks, the first year (M1) is devoted to strengthening and broadening students’ skills in specific engineering and biomedical subjects. Students receive guidance on their selection of teaching units, ensuring they are current with essential science subjects that might not have been covered in their prior studies. For example, engineering students may focus on physiology and anatomy, whereas biology or medical students may focus into signal processing and mechanics.
In M1 (semesters 1 and 2), there is one single track, with individualized choices of courses according to students’ backgrounds and their choice of specialization for M2.
The M2 (semesters 3 and 4) offers five tracks:
- NeuroTechnologies (NeuroTech)
- BioImaging (BIM)
- Innovation in Digital Health (eHealth)
- BioMechanics (BioMECH)
- Molecular and cellular biotherapies (MCB)
Biomechanics (BioMECH) is one of the 5 M2 proposed tracks.
Objectifs
BioMechanics is one of the 5 M2 proposed tracks.
The BioMECHANICS (BioMECH) track offers in-depth expertise and essential tools to understand and tackle biomedical challenges using principles of mechanics. This program integrates recent and upcoming advancements in biomechanics, designed to offer innovative solutions to pressing health issues and respond to industry needs. Through a combination of lectures, team projects, case studies, and invited talks by both academic and industry experts, students gain knowledge in a stimulating, multidisciplinary environment. The BioMECH program emphasizes translational learning, guiding students from foundational science and modeling to clinical application, in close collaboration with clinicians.
BioMECH equips engineers and healthcare professionals with the skills to engage in research and development (R&D) in biomechanics. Students learn to: Address specific biomedical challenges, Conduct innovative, ethical, and rigorous research, Collaborate across fields at the intersection of mechanics, materials, and biomedicine.
Program Structure
A core curriculum provides a comprehensive overview of biomechanics fundamentals and methods. Additionally, students choose one of two specialized tracks: Engineering Science (EngSci) or Health Science (HealthSci).
The HealthSci track offers a part-time, flexible program for clinicians, which can be completed over one or two years. Courses are held in person at ENSAM every Thursday from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, beginning in early November. The format is compatible with part-time professional activities, provided students attend classes on Thursdays and allocate sufficient time for experimental research.
Program Overview for Both Tracks
The first semester starts with an integration week composed of:
- A general kickoff meeting that gives a condensed overview of the Master program.
- An individual meeting with one member of the BioMECH pedagogic team.
- 3 orientation days (team building, student organization, outdoor walking rally, Skills workshop, Pitch workshop, Mock interviews)

Programme
La formation se déroule en anglais et à temps plein pour le parcours de M2 BioMECH Engineering Sciences.
Le parcours BioMECH HealthSci est un programme flexible à temps partiel pour les cliniciens, qui peut être complété sur une ou deux années. Les cours sont dispensés en présentiel à l'ENSAM tous les jeudis de 9h00 à 17h30, à partir de début novembre. Le format est compatible avec les activités professionnelles à temps partiel, à condition que les étudiants assistent aux cours le jeudi et consacrent suffisamment de temps à la recherche expérimentale.
