Medical Physics and Biomedical Instrumentation, Biomedical Sciences and Engineering, Master of Science (Technology)

Biomedical Sciences and Engineering at Tampere University combines engineering with life sciences. The Medical Physics and Biomedical Instrumentation specialisation covers health technology, from consumer health products such as heart rate monitors and wearable sensors to clinical applications such as anaesthesia monitors, imaging systems and treatment systems. It has two paths: Biomedical Instrumentation and Medical Physics.

Students first complete common core studies in biomedical sciences and biomedical engineering. These also include an introduction to graduate studies in Finland and Finnish language. The specialisation then offers elective courses or free choice study modules from Tampere University or other universities. The master’s thesis is worth 30 credits and is tailored to the student’s career plan.

Tampere University says the specialisation prepares students for work in industry, hospitals and research. The medical physics profile also supports post-graduate studies towards medical physicist specialisation.
