Presentation

Biomedical Engineering integrates principles, methods, and tools from the sciences, technology, and engineering to analyse and solve problems in medicine and biology.
If you have a versatile profile, a special taste for health matters, and a strong motivation for technology, particularly electronics and computer science, this is your engineering.

Competencies

What areas can you work in? 

  • Hospitals and health centres;
  • Diagnostic and imaging centres, haemodialysis and radiotherapy, clinical analysis, physiotherapy and physiatry;
  • Companies for the development of biomedical and hospital materials;
  • Companies that develop computer applications in the area of Health;
  • Research units or centres in the area of Bioengineering and Biomedicine. 

Learning Outcomes

What does this degree give you?   

  • You will be able to apply engineering principles to the healthcare industry to solve clinical problems.  
  • You will work in a multidisciplinary area of growing interest.  
  • You will contribute creatively to the development of biomedical technologies.   
  • You will receive practical training, supported by a solid scientific foundation.
