Biomedical Engineering or Bioengineering is currently an academic and professional reality. It is a scientific and technological discipline that applies the principles and methods of engineering, science and technology for the understanding, definition and resolution of biological and medical problems.
“Biomedical Engineering is in that area where science does not distinguish between living and inert matter, which contributes to the ambitious goal of putting technology at the service of medicine, ultimately, at the service of well-being and human health”
Program objective
The main objective of the Master’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid is to train professionals who apply engineering principles and methods to the understanding, definition, and solution of problems in biology and medicine. This field of knowledge requires multidisciplinary training that enables high-level specialisation to generate, integrate, and apply scientific, technological, and entrepreneurial knowledge to biomedical challenges. These professionals must be prepared to integrate into both research centres and the industrial sector. Furthermore, the programme is aimed at training graduates with a forward-looking vision who can actively contribute to the technological transformation of the healthcare sector, fostering innovation in hospitals and promoting knowledge transfer to the industrial and business ecosystem. These professionals will be prepared to address the challenges associated with the digitalisation of healthcare, the development of advanced medical technologies, and the sustainability of health systems.
