Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering are two partially overlapping but distinct fields of study and work.
Bioengineering is a science-based discipline focused on biology and creates a connection between biology and engineering. It sets out to apply the scientific knowledge to relevant problems in an effective and efficient way. Biomimetic is the sub-discipline of Bioengineering that deals with the transfer of biological models and systems to the design of machines and materials. Systems Biology is another sub-discipline that utilizes the engineering knowledge to discover structures, functions and operation methods of biological systems.
Biomedical Engineering is concerned with applying the biological science to medical innovation and bridges the gap between engineering and medicine with the purpose of improving the healthcare area. Amazing progress and development has been made in the fields of diagnosis and therapy thanks to the newly established discipline of Biomedical Engineering through the production of advanced medical equipment and devices that incorporate the biological dimension. Bio prostheses, micro implants, imaging machinery like the MRI and tissue growth are some of the notable achievements of this study field. Bringing engineering to a new level, Biomedical Engineering offers unlimited research, development and growth perspectives.
Medicine and technology are separate disciplines but are strongly connected. The study program MedTech wants to bridge the gap thus giving the student a profound education where technology meets medicine in general and radiology and radiotherapy in particular. The study program includes mathematics, physics of medical imaging and radiation therapy, image processing, therapy planning and others. Finally students will be taught in management in health and science.
Biotechnology is applied area of science embracing recombinant DNA technology, cellular biology, microbiology, biochemistry, process design, engineering, modeling and control.
The Engineering faculties of the Universiteit Gent and Vrije Universiteit Brussel organize the interuniversitary Master of Biomedical Engineering and this in a close collaboration with the Medical faculties of both universities.
Are you interested in improving health care and applying advanced technology to solve complex problems in medicine? Are you interested in working alongside health care professionals?

The Master Programme in Applied Biotechnology is designed for those who wish to specialize in applied biotechnology and simultaneously gain knowledge of project management and entrepreneurship. The programme provides you with a unique profile, where you will meet both Swedish and international students and tutors. Uppsala is the premium choice for your biotechnology studies.
The Barcelona GSE Economics Program provides rigorous training in economics. It aims to endow students with a deep understanding of the field and a powerful set of analytical tools.
The Biochemical Engineer is the key expert in the application of biological organisms, systems or processes. His/her skills are crucial to the commercial development of new drugs, hormones, vaccines and antibodies, as well as the manufacture of food and drink.
The EUROPHOTONICS EMMC Master course gives an extensive two-year Master level teaching program focusing on advanced research and applied topics that will constitute the near and extended future scientific goals in the field of Photonics Engineering, Nanophotonics and Biophotonics, with interdisciplinary applications.
As medical science has advanced, physicians and patients have relied on increasingly sophisticated medical devices for diagnosis, treatment, and long-term health care.
This programme aims to understanding how and why actors in biological production systems make certain decisions with respect to the management of these systems and to the use of natural resources.
The Master of Engineering: Biomedical Engineering programme provides students with a state-of-the-art overview of all areas in biomedical engineering: biomechanics, biomaterials, medical sensors and signal processing, medical imaging and tissue engineering.
Life sciences, including environmental and biotechnology, are one of the key industries of the 21st century, offering tremendous potential for growth, professional development and personal advancement. Innsbruck / Tyrol provides a highly competitive location through its excellently positioned universities, the Tyrolean Future Foundation, the Centre for Academic Spin-offs CAST, several innovative competence centres as well as a number of global players in the bioengineering industry.
