As with most of the other Master’s degree programmes in civil engineering, the objective of this major is to train engineers able to meet future technological challenges in the scientific and technical fields associated with biomedical engineering. This major will provide students with basic knowledge in several biomedical engineering fields such as bioinstrumentation, biomaterials, medical imaging, mathematical modelling, artificial organs and rehabilitation. The School of Engineering and the School of Medicine collaborate to provide students with an interdisciplinary programme of study where the art of engineering is applied to the complex and varied biomedical field.
