Studies
General
Tampere University’s modern degree in biomedical sciences and engineering is a
combination of two old degrees: biomedical engineering (from Tampere University of
Technology) and biotechnology (from University of Tampere). In this new degree,
strong technical basis is combined with knowledge in natural sciences.
Majors in Bachelor phase are:
- Biomedical Engineering
- Bio- and Environmental Engineering
Majors in Master phase are:
Industrial Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology- Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering
- Biomedical Micro- and Nanodevices
- Health Technology and Informatics
Additionally, there is a completely international Master’s Degree Programme in
Biomedical Sciences and Engineering.
Degree Programme in Biomedical Sciences and Engineering, MSc (Tech)
The Master’s Degree Programme in Biomedical Sciences and Engineering offers you an international and multidisciplinary study environment, and an opportunity to customize the content of your programme to meet your personal goals and interests. The duration of studies is two years, including 120 ECTS, and is taught in English. The courses emphasize different areas of biomedical engineering, such as tissue engineering or medical device development. In addition, students are able to design and carry out a research plan to test hypotheses, to analyze and interpret the results in the context of the research, and to report the results according to scientific principles, requirements, and ethics related to engineering and life sciences.
