Type: 1st cycle studies (BSc) and 2nd cycle studies (MSc)
Profile: general academic
Form of study: full-time and part-time

The Biomedical Engineering covers aspects of application of various branches of technology in medicine and health care.
This study line offers interdisciplinary education supplemented with information about the newest scientific and technological advancements.

These studies are aimed at educating engineers who will be familiarized with methods with which medicine can be technologically supported by electronics, computer science, material science, biomechanics and robotics. The basic element of the studies is practical learning of medicine basics enabling cooperation with medical staff and use of technological applications in medicine.

Biomedical Engineering gives the students possibility of a practical contact with newest apparatuses, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic systems based on electronic, informatic, telecommunications, material, biomaterial and tissue systems.

The 2nd cycle studies last 3 semesters and follow various specialization programs:

• Computer Science and Medical Electronics

• Biomaterial Engineering

• Biomechanics and Robotics

• Bionanotechnologies

• Emerging Health Care Technologies

Basic and specialist programs are successively realized as obligatory subjects. The detailed study program is worked out, modified and accepted by the Program Council. The 2nd cycle studies are concluded with a master's thesis. After a successful presentation of the students are granted the MSc degree.

The graduates of Biomedical Engineering may undertake the following jobs:

• as a medical engineer responsible for designing, integration and exploitation of new diagnostic and therapeutic systems,

• in companies dealing with designing and production of medical apparatuses,

• in health care units as experts and technical directors responsible for proper use of technical back office,

• in r&d units for developing new electronic, material and mechanical technologies aiding living organisms,

• in medical equipment services, in units responsible for audit and accreditation of medical technology aspects,

• in administration units as health-care decision-taking specialists.
