6-year programme designed to integrate Medicine and Biomedical Engineering
WHAT IS THE MEDTECH DEGREE?
Technology today is pervasive in every field, especially in medicine.
This course is a direct response to the job markets’ needs for highly skilled Med Tech professionals in research and industry.
Medical professionals need to acquire knowledge of a wide range of medical technology, from pacemakers to prosthetics, from imaging to big data.
We offer an innovative MD course with a 6-year programme entirely delivered in English designed to integrate clinical and engineering expertise.
With this course we want to train future doctors with a solid hard science background and strong skills in applied biomedical technologies.
This Medical Degree gives full access to any Residency School and it gives a competitive advantage for programs where technology is a key component. At the end of the MD course students are eligible to receive a Bachelor Degree in Biomedical Engineering with 30 additional ECTS credits.
