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:
Objectifs
The track on Biotherapies and Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) offers an exciting opportunity to dive deep into some of the most revolutionary fields in modern medicine. The program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive knowledge of the rapidly evolving areas of cell- and gene-based therapies, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Through a blend of lectures, hands-on laboratory work, and case studies, the program is structured to address key aspects of biotherapy development, including molecular and cellular/stem cell biology, immunology, and bioengineering techniques, providing participants with a solid grasp of the science behind advanced therapies.
Additionally, the program explores the regulatory frameworks and the clinical applicationsessential for the development and safe administration of these innovative therapies, preparing them for research and career opportunities in academia as well as in biopharmaceutical and biotechnology firms, specialized in these fast-growing therapies.
The MCB track thus serves as a comprehensive pathway into the expanding fields of cell and gene therapy, biopharmaceuticals, and regenerative medicine positioning students at the forefront of groundbreaking therapeutic innovations.
