Description
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 have 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, a hospital or continue your studies towards a doctoral degree. You may also be a natural-born entrepreneur and launch your own start-up.
Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering
Students who select Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering as a specialization acquire broad knowledge of biomedical materials synthesis and characterization as well as interfacial interaction between biomedical devices and biological moieties. This expertise is essential for the development of several medical applications, such as implant design, disease modeling and novel transplantation therapies aiming for tissue replacement or repair. This specialization explores different aspects of stem cell technology, scaffold design and tissue functionality as well as clinical outcomes and regulations. Our students develop the expertise to become independent experts in industry or academia.
Collaboration
We maintain close ties with engineering professionals, life scientists and clinicians, and therefore provide optimal exposure for our students. We enjoy an international reputation for our excellent fundamental and translational (from laboratory to clinic) research. When applying to the Master's programme in Biomedical Sciences and Engineering (MSc Tech), you may choose from the following options:
Medical Physics and Biomedical Instrumentation
Biomedical Informatics
Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering
Biomedical Micro- and Nanodevices
We collaborate closely with the Finnish-taught programme and the international life science programme in the field of biomedical sciences offered by the Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology, the Master’s programme in Biomedical Technology (MSc), which has three specialization options:
Biomedical Informatics (natural sciences)
Cell Technology
Molecular Biology
