Technology for Health
Technology for Health
Description
This course is primarily designed for students with an BSc-level technology background, who are interested in the Biomedical Engineering profession. The aim of biomedical engineering is to provide technological solutions for health care problems, for example for the support of human functions which are impaired by trauma or disease. As a biomedical engineer, you will be actively involved in technology research for advancing new ideas, concepts or intermediate results on the translation chain towards innovation of clinical practice and commercial exploitation.
