Master of Science [M.S] [Biomedical Engineering] From Linkoping University

You will expand your skills and knowledge in engineering, mathematics, physics, multidimensional signal generation and analysis, and you will combine medical informatics with biomedical modelling applied to human anatomy.

The first year is mainly a broad compulsory segment, with courses in anatomy and physiology, medical information systems, and signal theory. The second year comprises in-depth specialisation in one of four tracks:

• Medical Informatics
• Biomedical Signals and Instrumentation
• Bioengineering
• Medical Imaging

Each track encompasses approximately 25 compulsory ECTS credits and 15 elective credits. In the final term, you write a thesis within your chosen specialisation, at the department or in a hospital or industry.

The?Biomedical Engineering program is offered by the?Link?ping University.??

After graduating, you will have the skills to formulate and solve engineering problems in the biomedical domain, implement and operate help-improving systems and processes, and evaluate engineering tools and approaches in medicine. The learning outcomes are achieved through the thematic environment of student-centred learning, using teaching methods that include, for example, tutorial groups and home exams.

Career opportunities

Biomedical engineers are employed in the industry, in hospitals, government agencies and various research facilities, design materials, devices, algorithms, processes or systems. They often have coordinating or interfacing functions and sometimes do teaching.

A master?s degree in biomedical engineering is also a formal qualification for postgraduate studies. Many of our alumni have continued their studies towards a doctoral degree.
