Introduction

Biomedical Sciences and Engineering combines engineering with life sciences

Aging society and increasing interest in well-being require new solutions for more personalized and precise healthcare from novel imaging to reliable, remote monitoring of patients as well as wellness devices to support prevention and rehabilitation.

At the interface between engineering and health sciences

The biomedical engineering industry is an increasingly important, global high-tech sector. In Finland, the health techprogram 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 and health sciences. 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.

Medical Physics and Biomedical Instrumentation

The specialization of Medical Physics and Biomedical Instrumentation focuses on the core area of the present-day health technology industry developing medical devices and also the core knowledge needed by people working as medical physicists at hospitals. 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 delivery systems. The specialization provides expertise in the design of complex biomedical instrumentation and understanding the physics behind various medical imaging modalities. This specialization has two paths: Biomedical Instrumentation, focusing more on design and the development of instrumentation, and Medical Physics, focusing on the theoretical physics background needed by medical physicists.
