FAQ

Is my academic profile compatible with the Master's in HealthTech?

The HealthTech Master's program is an interdisciplinary Master's program based in the fundamentals of engineering and information sciences and applied to healthcare. HealthTech recruits from a range of profiles including (but not limited to): 

• Students in engineering science or computer science, willing to evolve in the field of healthcare
• Medical students that are willing to engage in research and medical innovation
• Students in economics that are willing to pursue a career in the field of innovation for healthcare (B.Sc only)

Candidates must have completed coursework in mathematics and programming to be successful in the program. Coursework in engineering or robotics would be beneficial.

If you are unsure about whether your profile is compatible or whether your academic coursework will allow you to succeed in the Master's in HealthTech, please visit the Master IRIV website and review the course syllabi. 

•  I haven't received my Bachelor's diploma yet. What do I upload as my most recent diploma?
  • The University website requires students to upload the copy of the last obtained diploma, which enables access to the appropriate graduate level ("Copie de l'attestation de réussite du dernier diplôme obtenu donnant accès au niveau d'études demandé"). If you have not yet received your BSc diploma, you should upload your high school diploma (if it is indeed the last diploma you have received at the time of registration to HealthTech's MSc).
     
•  What is the detailed course program/programme detaillé d'enseignement?
  • The detailed course program is the compiled descriptions/syllabi/information on the coursework that you completed in previous courses of study. This document should provide information about what courses were taken and what material was covered in a particular course, for each course in a previous program. Some universities provide this automatically as part of a predetermined curriculum, but other universities may provide these to a lesser degree.
  •  My university does not provide a detailed course program. What do I do? If your university does not provide a detailed course program, you can provide any course syllabi/descriptions that you have received from the teachers. If you are unable to provide this information, you can likewise re-upload your transcripts in this section.
     
• How do I write a motivation letter/personal statement/cover letter? How long should it be?
  • ​​​​​​​Your personal statement should be no longer than one page, single spaced and should provide information about who you are as a candidate, why you are applying, why you are interested in HealthTech and how HealthTech will help you achieve your professional goals. The personal statement should be written in academic or formal language and should be personal to you as an application. Do not submit texts written by generative AI.

Justifying English Proficiency

As English is the language of instruction for the HealthTech graduate program, it is imperative that your skills in English are sufficient in order for you to be able to follow the coursework. Therefore, we require a B2 level, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Language, for entrance into the program. The Admissions Committee reserves the right to request an oral interview with candidates in order to assess language level.

Case 1: I have never taken a language test, but took language classes at university

If you have never taken an official language test, but were assessed in language classes at university, please provide a letter from an English teacher attesting to your language level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Language. For information about the language levels and for self-assessment, please refer to this page from the Council of Europe.
