Description
Biomedical Engineering encompasses fundamental concepts in engineering, biology and medicine to develop innovative approaches and new devices, materials, implants, algorithms, processes and systems for the medical industry. These could be used for the assessment and evaluation of technology; for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases; for patient care and rehabilitation and for improving medical practice and health care delivery.
The first year of the Biomedical Engineering programme focuses on mandatory courses expanding students engineering skills and knowledge in areas like: anatomy, physiology, biology and biochemistry. Courses in mathematics, statistics, multidimensional biomedical signal generation and analysis, combined with medical informatics and biomedical modelling and simulation, create a solid foundation for the continuation of the programme.
In the second year, three areas of specialization are introduced: medical informatics, medical imaging and bioengineering. As well as that, a mandatory course in Philosophy of Science is given, preparing students for the degree project.
Graduates of the Biomedical Engineering programme should be able to:
- formulate and solve engineering problems in the biomedical domain, including the design of devices, algorithms, systems and processes to improve human health and integrating a thorough understanding of life sciences
- use, propose and evaluate engineering tools and approaches
- identify and manage the particular problems related to the acquisition, processing and interpretation of biomedical signals and images
- integrate engineering and life science knowledge, using modelling and simulation techniques
- communicate engineering problems in the life sciences domain.
The Biomedical Engineering curriculum supports and sustains "Engineering for Health" through a relevant mixture of mandatory and elective courses. This enables both broad and in-depth studies, which emphasise the importance of multidisciplinary and collaborative approaches to real world engineering problems in biology and medicine.

Requirements
Applicants are expected to have:
- a bachelor's degree in Biomedical, Electrical, Physical, Biological or Computer Engineering or Electronics, Physics or equivalent.
- at least 30 credits (ECTS) in Mathematics or applications of mathematics including: Calculus, Linear Algebra, Vector Calculus and Complex Functions.
- at least 10 credits (ECTS) in Physics, including Mechanics.
If the applicant has other type of degree, it must conform with the ABET (American Board of Engineering and Technology) specification for Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.
The specific requirements may be assessed as not fulfilled if:
- the average grade is in the lower third of the grading scale used in the country where the degree was awarded (i.e. grades have to be average/pass level or above, the equivalent to the Swedish grade "Godkänd")
- the degree does not qualify for admission to equivalent master's programmes in the country where the degree is awarded.
