At the interface between engineering and health sciences
The biomedical engineering industry is an increasingly important, global high-tech sector. In Finland, the HealthTech 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. This programme provides you with a solid understanding of the challenges related to biomedical sciences and health technology. You will become familiar with advanced technologies at the interface between engineering and health sciences and gain the ability to develop innovative solutions to solve these challenges. You will be able to demonstrate critical thinking and professionalism and pursue a career in industry, in a hospital, or continue your studies towards a doctoral degree. You may also be a natural-born entrepreneur and launch your own start-up.
Medical Physics and Biomedical Instrumentation
The specialisation Medical Physics and Biomedical Instrumentation focuses on the design, development, characterization, and application of medical devices and health technology systems for healthcare, diagnostics, monitoring, and treatment. It covers the areas of well-being and medical solutions from consumer health products such as heart rate monitors and other wearable sensors to clinical applications such as anesthesia monitors, imaging and treatment systems. It combines engineering, physics, and biomedical sciences, providing a unique interdisciplinary education in both biomedical instrumentation and medical physics. The specialisation provides expertise in the design of complex biomedical instrumentation and understanding the physics behind various medical imaging modalities. This specialisation offers two paths: Biomedical Instrumentation, which focuses on the design and development of medical devices, and Medical Physics, which emphasizes the theoretical physics background required for postgraduate studies in medical physicist specialisation and a career as a clinical physicist.
