Our socials
Our Instagram page is where we mainly share activities. These include activities organized by our committees, such as outings with the Activity Committee, updates on the Weekend Trip and feedback panels from Eduboard. Here you will also find announcements on lunch lectures, case studies and in-house days, where interesting companies from our field showcase more of their work.

WhatsApp Groups
To encourage contact between students and to be able to reach everyone in an accessible way, there is a WhatsApp community. In this community you can find separate WhatsApp groups for both master's programs and for all courses. AvL will also share updates on planned activities and sign-up links.
Becoming a Master student
AvL is the study association of two master's programs: BioMedical Engineering and BioMechanical Design.
BioMedical Engineering
The TU Delft master's program in BioMedical Engineering is a multidisciplinary program which aims to provide you with both an understanding of biology and medical theory as well as highly specialised technical training in such fields as electrical, physics, material and mechanical engineering.
You will learn how to develop conceptual models from a technical perspective and you will work in close collaboration with physicians, researchers and other healthcare professionals, including on-site at the collaborating academic institutions.
​
The MSc program in BioMedical Engineering is a two-year program and is taught in English.
The program consists of three tracks:
​
For more information about the master's program, we would like to refer to the website of TU Delft.
We also recommend to take a look at the study guide. Here you can find more detailed information about the courses, which is also helpful for choosing your courses!
BioMechanical Design
BioMechanical Design deals with the interaction of mechanical technology with biological systems. This means investigating human movement, perception, and control characteristics from a mechanical engineering perspective, and developing both the mechanical design skills and the knowledge of control theory necessary to develop robust and adaptive systems that can interact effectively with the messy, soft, and unpredictable world of human beings. In contrast to the more clinically oriented MSc program in Biomedical Engineering, BioMechanical Design focuses on the engineering challenges of learning from biological systems for engineering applications.

Frequently asked questions
Does it cost money to become a member of AvL?
No!
A membership is free. However, if you participate in certain activities, there may be costs involved. These will always remain very low (not more than a couple of euros). In any case, you will always be informed in advance.
Can I sign up for a committee or for the AvL board?
Nice that you're interested!
Talk to one of us at the TU Delft or send us a message through WhatsApp. We can meet for a coffee to discuss this possibility.
What is the difference between BME and BMD?
Biomedical Engineering is the more clinically oriented MSc Program. As medical science has advanced, physicians and patients have relied on increasingly sophisticated medical devices for diagnosis, treatment, and long-term health care. BioMedical engineers are key players in the development, design, and continuing refinement of devices such as joint replacement prostheses, microsensors, imaging and image processing, as well as advanced instruments for use in domains as minimally invasive surgery and the diagnosis of movement disorders.
BioMechanical Design focuses on the engineering challenges of designing bio-inspired robots, fine-mechanical systems, automobile driver support and training systems, haptic interfaces, and tools for top athletes. Students will receive an advanced education in the design and engineering of robotic devices, mechatronic design, control engineering and biological principles. Students are encouraged to select courses from other departments, faculties or even universities, if appropriate.
