Elective courses

Try to learn, what you cannot easily learn later

Can be used on TS courses

Be careful with course selection, all ECTS in excess of 120 ECTS have to be paid for!

You will be employed on your engineering skills, not your project management skills (which your future employer may later pay you to acquire)

Kandidatkurser på bacheloren

"Smøre madpakke" (optaget betinget på kandidatuddannelsen):ForudsætningskurserKurser der er svære at få ind i skemaetPatofysiologi

Brug af valgfri point på bachelorstudiet:Ikke svære kurser, for hvis de dumpes, så studieforlængende

31/47


TS-course credits(summarizing)

Three ways to get credits towards the TS pool:Take courses from the pool of TS-coursesMake a special course (max 10 ECTS) within BME and have study plan acceptedTake BME courses at a foreign university (pre "credit transfer", forhåndsgodkendelse)

Studying abroadChoose the best. You are the customer!

Normally, biomedical engineering = TS courses:Accepted as TS courses: Bioinstrumentation, Medical imaging, etcNot accepted: Signal processing, Cell biology, etc

Predicting the future:Postponing a mandatory course (e.g., 31590)Not available => extra term needed

Spring semester can start early January:No 3-week course

Stay abroad just prior to master thesis: plan this before leaving

No re-exam is needed, if a course at a foreign university is failed

Start early:Respons time from Head of Studies > 0 sNot issuing English certificatesOther "document services" are limited

Changes to course schedules

Starting study year 2016/2017, these changes are planned:31590 Biomedical product development from E2 to E431560 Adv. signal proc. with biomedical app from E4 to E310337 & 28213 will be removed from list of TS coursesPlan to move exam in KU101 away from January

Later (around 2017):KU105 moves from spring to fall
