Master's in Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical Engineering is a unique, multidisciplinary Master's programme focusing on biomechanics, medical imaging and measurement, digital signal and image analysis, machine learning, big data analytics and healthcare informatics.

Biomedical Engineering programme is organized by internationally recognized research groups in close collaboration with the Oulu University Hospital.  Strong connections with other health care organizations and  industry.  Oulu is a tech hub with established companies, world leaders and start-ups in health care technology.

Core skills and competence

The latest methods, tools and technologies combined with issues such as:

• Anatomy and physiology 
• Biomechanics and biomaterials 
• Biomedical measurements 
• Medical physics and imaging 
• Biomedical signal and image processing
• Machine learning and big data
• Artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine
• Information systems and mobile applications in health care
• Health technology applications.

The programme is highly focused on experimentation, practical work and problem-based learning in its studies and research. In addition to theoretical knowledge, the programme is based on applied research and real-world problems and solutions, which is strengthened by its close links to industry.

The programme is inherently multidisciplinary as it combines the technological and medical expertise of two different faculties, the Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering and the Faculty of Medicine.

The study environment is multinational and multilingual, as roughly half of the teaching staff and a significant number of students come from outside of Finland.
