The Biomedical Engineering Department offers programs leading to the Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees, as well as a certificate program for those seeking professional development or as a gateway to the M.S. program.

Technology in contemporary medicine has evolved to where computers and other high-tech devices are essential in hospitals, rehabilitation centres and private medical practices. The Master in Biomedical Engineering was created to respond to the increased technological needs in healthcare to provide more and better care with fewer people and to obtain cost-effectiveness in our healthcare systems.

Living matter is characterized by a high level of complexity due to its multiscale & dynamic organization. The Master of Science and Technology in Complex Systems Engineering (MScT CSE) in Biomedical engineering addresses such complexity of life and of major future challenges.

With global life expectancy rising rapidly, healthcare systems urgently need to improve. MSc in Biomedical Engineering bridging the gaps between the design and problem-solving skills of traditional engineering and the medical and biological sciences, biomedical engineering can play a vital role in that journey. And when combined with progress and developments in the field of IT, a new world of possibilities in how health care can be improved and delivered is emerging.

MSc Biomedical Engineering offers you the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge on a broad range of topics within health care and technology while working with state-of-the-art medical facilities.

Study programme aims at preparing professionals who would acquire the skills and knowledge to close the gap between engineering and medicine by combining the design and problem-solving skills of engineering with medical biological sciences and to advance health care services through the application of engineering principles and design concepts, innovative technologies and methods of multidisciplinary research.

People's need for more tailored and cost-efficient implants, devices, and health informatics solutions is growing. The biomedical engineering industry is an increasingly important, global high-tech sector. In Finland, the health tech industry is especially strong. With the emergence of numerous small enterprises, the fields of biomedical sciences and engineering are rapidly expanding and offer diverse career options.

The MSE in Biomedical Engineering prepares students to pursue a variety of careers in research, industry, consulting, government, and more. Many of our students also continue their education through Ph.D. or MD/Ph.D. programs. Students are provided theoretical instruction in the traditional engineering disciplines, given exposure to specialized biomedical engineering topics, and have the opportunity through, the “thesis track” degree option, to participate in supervised research projects. In addition to the thesis track, which typically takes two years to complete (one year of coursework plus one year of research), students have the option to complete the MSE degree in one year through coursework specializing in one of seven focus areas.

An ageing population and rising health care costs caution us that the health care system must constantly improve. Studying master’s in Biomedical Engineering at KTU, you will develop your research skills by improving existing or creating new methods and equipment for medical diagnostics, therapy and health monitoring.

Biomedical engineers with this solid education shall be capable of understanding, modeling, and creating complex biomedical systems. This multidisciplinary program aims to form professionals capable of finding innovative technological solutions for healthcare-related problems, in areas such as medical imaging, medical instrumentation, medical physics, radiotherapy, biodevices, biomaterials, processing and analysis of biomedical signals, bioinformatics, medical information management, etc; who produce an effective benefit to medical diagnosis and treatment, clinical monitoring and control and quality of life in general. It is also an objective that these professionals can contribute to the technological and scientific development in the context of high-level research to develop, for example, at national or foreign research units in the areas of biomedical engineering

The objective of the master’s degree program is to prepare a student for research and development careers in biomedical industry and further research at the doctorate level. Students completing their MS degrees will graduate with a high level of competence in:

The Master’s in Biomedical Engineering presents a multidisciplinary program that allows graduates to pursue a professional career in areas related to biomaterials and medical devices, medical biotechnology, imaging, diagnostic and therapeutic systems, processing and treatment of biomedical signals, and health technology management.

The MSc program in Biomedical Engineering provides students with an engineering education applied to the medical and biological environment. The educational path is intended to train students in the design of biomedical equipment, devices, materials and procedures and to offer a correct introduction to the management of biomedical technologies in companies and health organizations.

The Master in Biomedical Engineering (Online) from Case Western Reserve University prepares students for careers in industry, academia, healthcare, and government. It covers cellular and molecular biology, tissue and organ physiology, and diagnostic technology design. The program includes 30 credit hours and offers course-only or project-focused options.

MSc in Biomedical Engineering is an emerging field that involves applying physical, chemical, mathematical, computer science and engineering principles to the analysis of biological, medical, behavioral and health-related problems. Biomedical engineers develop innovative devices and procedures to help prevent, diagnose and treat diseases. It relies on an in-depth understanding of science and engineering fundamentals, combined with a broad knowledge of physiological and anatomical systems.
