Location of Malmö University
The Biomedical Methods and Technology Master’s Programme focuses on biological and artificial interfaces, which play a considerable role in methods and technologies found at biomedical and biotech industry.
The education combines cell and molecular biology with surface and colloid chemistry. It offers a unique knowledge required for the development of drug delivery systems and implants, bioanalytical assays, medical treatment and novel foods.
It is a good choice for you who has a Bachelor’s degree in natural sciences and would like to advance your skills in biomedical methods and technology. You will get theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the areas of biomedical activities which require expertise beyond traditional disciplines of biomedicine, chemistry or biology.
The programme is carried out in close collaboration with regional industry, and provides up to date overview on research and development work in the area of biomedical technology.
Where can I work?
Biomedical Methods and Technology focuses on technological aspects of artificialand biological interfaces, which play a significant role in the development of methods and technologies found at biomedical and biotech industry.
The combination of cell and molecular biology with surface and colloid chemistry makes you competitive at employments which require interdisciplinary knowledge.
Your employers are big and small companies in the biotechnology sector, including pharmaceutical industry, research institutes, and biomedical laboratories.
Employments in public and private sector will taking a role of project manager, product or method developer or consultant. You will have good possibilities to apply and compete for PhD positions at universities in Sweden and worldwide.
