Your master's or PhD thesis, partly in Africa. BEAfrica helps biomedical engineering students who want to spend part of their thesis in hospitals in Ethiopia and Ghana, along the cooperation tracks the Politecnico is opening there.

What it is

Thesis coordinators at the Politecnico are opening master's and PhD thesis tracks with a field period in hospitals in Ethiopia and Ghana. BEA is the bridge between the students who want to go and the coordinators. Next to the thesis, there is room for hands-on field work such as repairing medical equipment and training hospital staff.

Where it stands

It is still early. We are collecting who is interested, gathering questions for the coordinators and waiting for dates and requirements for the first group. Those who show up now will have more choice later.

Who it is for

Master's and PhD students in biomedical engineering who would like a period abroad in a hospital as part of their thesis.
