Program Overview

Program Description:

Biomedical technology is a subject that is rapidly gaining in importance. Today’s technology has become an essential part of modern healthcare and patient care. Both in industry and in healthcare there is an increasing need for people who can deal with today’s increasingly complex biomedical problems. The biomedical engineer specializes in solving technological problems that require an understanding of the functioning of the human body. These engineers possess knowledge of analytical and synthetic methods based on physics and chemistry, calculation techniques from mathematics and measurement and control systems based on electrical engineering, together with a thorough basic medical and biological understandingThe Master’s degree program in Biomedical Engineering aims to train technicians who are able to organize and carry out both fundamental and applied research in the field of biomedical engineering. This multidisciplinary program is based on integrating technical and life sciences, and you can specialize in a number of different disciplines. The subject matter is complex, and the focal areas involved include innovation and development. The program is research-driven and design-oriented. Although most of the courses have a biomedical and technical orientation, and provide a basis for the specializations in the Master’s degree program, it is also possible to choose courses that approach biomedical problems from a different angle, for example from an economic, ethical or health-science perspective.
