Biomedical Technology

What requirements must artificial (bio) materials meet in order to function properly in the body? How do you design an artificial kidney? How accurate are imaging techniques, such as optics, ultrasound and X-rays? In our Dutch-taught Bachelor’s in Biomedical Technology, you will learn to convert knowledge of physics, mathematics, chemistry, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, biology and medicine into new technological applications for medical care.

WHY BIOMEDICAL TECHNOLOGY?

The role of technology in healthcare is growing rapidly – and with it the demand for engineers who can use their medical knowledge to design solution-driven technology. This programme prepares you for exactly that. Mathematics is the language of engineers and therefore an important component at BMT. You will learn to research and analyse clinical problems in the healthcare sector, and to convert your insights into concrete, viable technological innovations. With this programme, you will be uniquely prepared to combine various disciplines.

LEARN IN THE BEST LABS

Developing technical-medical innovations is one of University of Twente’s spearheads. At the Technical Medical Centre, our internationally leading research and innovation centre, students, researchers, medical staff and external partners work together on innovations for healthcare. As a Biomedical Technology student, you will be a part of this – learning and developing in an inspiring environment.

AFTER YOUR BACHELOR’S

In and around the healthcare sector, there is increasing demand for academically trained professionals who combine medical knowledge with technological expertise. With your bachelor’s degree you can enter our two-year, English-taught Master’s in Biomedical Engineering. As a biomedical engineer, you will have very broad and challenging career opportunities. You can set to work in science and research, advise on purchasing and using medical devices in healthcare institutions, develop new healthcare applications or get a job as a consultant, advising on the development of new medical technology.
