A degree programme offered by the strategic alliance of Rhine-Main Universities (RMU)
2025/09/24
Engineering meets medicine: Nearly seven years ago, the joint Medizintechnik (Medical Technology) degree programme, offered by TU Darmstadt and Goethe University Frankfurt, was launched. Since then, 132 students have successfully completed the programme. A five-part series now shines a spotlight on this unique academic offering, the only one of its kind in the state of Hesse and part of the strategic alliance of the Rhine-Main Universities (RMU). The series begins with a video that provides a comprehensive overview of the field of medical technology.
