Biomedical engineering
Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field of knowledge combining issues of technical, medical and natural sciences. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), this is one of the main fields (along with e.g. genetic engineering) that determines the progress of modern medicine. Concepts such as biocatalysis, biosensors, biomaterials, biomechanics, bioacoustics, medical biooptics, biomolecular engineering, bioseparation, biotransport, computer imaging of biological structures, drug carriers, neural networks, telemedicine, tissue engineering and nanobiotechnology fall within the scope of broadly understood biomedical engineering. The demand for specialists worldwide is constantly growing.
Why is it worth it?
Studying biomedical engineering
- you will gain truly interdisciplinary knowledge;
- you will learn how the human body works and how to support its functions;
- you will study in a field that is one of the priority fields around the world;
- you can study in a commissioned field and receive a scholarship of PLN 1,000
- you will gain qualifications that are sought after on the global labor market.
Graduates
Graduates will have the necessary preparation to work as a medical engineer. Education in this field will allow you to work in teams creating medical equipment, but also in health care units using modern devices. Knowledge in the acquisition and processing of biological signals will allow employment as a person managing interdisciplinary projects. The acquired knowledge will allow graduates to perform the currently very important integration of complex medical equipment with data processing and transmission systems.
Graduates can find employment in companies developing software for medical needs, both as programmers and team (project) managers. The nature of the education enables employment in IT companies, companies specializing in the production or sale of medical equipment, as well as in health care units and units implementing or using medical IT systems and in research units.
