The core of Duke’s MedTech Design Master of Engineering is a carefully curated program of lockstep courses.
You’ll build strong, practical design skills as you progress through a diverse series of projects.
In addition to design courses, you’ll complete:
Core courses on management fundamentals for high-tech and MedTech industries
A required course in advanced mathematics and another in a life science topic
A required internship
3 Reasons Why Duke is the Leader in MedTech Design
