Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering (in process of elimination )

• The medical engineering sector is booming due to the incorporation of technology in the medical field and fostered by advances in electronics, information technology, radio frequencies, nuclear, genetics, new materials, telecommunications, nanotechnology, etc.
• This is a sector in full expansion, which moves hundreds of millions of euros and which demands specialists for the design, installation and maintenance of imaging equipment and medical instrumentation; the development of applications for the treatment, management, storage and transmission of signals, images and biomedical data; the design of prostheses and devices for rehabilitation and disability assistance; the development and application of new biosensors and biomaterials; the management of technology in the hospital field and health systems, as well as for basic or applied research.
• It will enable you to work in the industrial and business fields, in hospital centres and in research laboratories .
• Afternoon timetable.
• You can specialize in:
  •  Medical Signal and Image Processing and Communication (UPNA)
  •  Biomechanics and Biomaterials (University of Zaragoza).
