About this program
MSc Biomedical Engineering
This program combines fundamental concepts and knowledge in engineering, biology, and medicine to develop innovative technologies, materials, processes, and systems, with the aim of improving healthcare.
Biomedical engineering is often referred to as engineering for a good life. It is a field in which your creativity and problem-solving skills will benefit humanity and make a difference.
The intersection of the natural sciences, medicine, and technology is a dynamic place. This program combines fundamental concepts and knowledge in engineering, biology, and medicine. Based on solid mathematical and physical foundations, useful medical knowledge, and a vibrant engineering spirit, you will learn how to develop sustainable and innovative technologies, materials, and systems that improve healthcare.
Admission requirements
- Bachelor's degree in biomedical, electrical, physical, biological or computer engineering, electronics or physics, or equivalent. The Bachelor's degree (equivalent to a Swedish Kandidatexamen) shall be from an internationally recognised university.
- At least 30 ECTS credits in mathematics/applied mathematics and/or application of mathematics, including linear algebra, statistical theory, vector calculus and complex functions.
- At least 10 ECTS credits in physics, including mechanics.
- English corresponding to the level of English in Swedish upper secondary education (English 6/B). This is normally attested by means of an internationally recognised test.
(Exemption from Swedish)
The deadline for submitting the online application is the 16th of January. The deadline for submitting all supporting documentation is the 1st of February. Documents that are submitted after the deadline will make the whole application late, and possibly not considered for most of the programmes.
