Educational Objectives

The purpose of this programme is to provide the student with solid skills in biomedical engineering. The education is based on the bachelor programme in Medicine and Technology and is aiming at:

• further development of the technical skills of the students, obtaining an increase in the theoretical and methodological qualifications, and furhter advance - relative to the bachelor level - the ability to work independently

• providing the student with a specialization through application of advanced elements from the disciplines and methods of the field including training in scientific work and methods which develops the students competences to perform more specialized jobs and collaborate in scientific development tasks

• to qualify the student for further studies such as the PhD programme

Like the bachelor programme in Medicine and Technology, this education has an interdisciplinary profile where natural science, health science, and engineering are evenly balanced. The natural science and engineering aspects are managed by the Technical University of Denmark while the aspect of health science is managed by the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Copenhagen together with nearby hospitals.

Professions

Biomedical engineers are - due to their advanced skills in mathematics, natural sciences, medicine and engineering - able to analyze complex tasks and present rational and stable solutions by use of advanced technological tools. Typical areas of work are:

• Development of apparatus and methods for measurements
• Participating in clinical research (plan and carry out clinical experiments)
• Test and maintenance of complex technical installations
• Teaching of other staff members

• Research and development of products
• Collaboration in planning of experiments
• Sales, marketing, service

• Teaching
• Research
