Biomedical engineering master's programme​ at Chalmers With a growing need for improvement in the quality of life, and global average life expectancy rapidly rising, there is an increasing demand for efficient healthcare systems. Combining the design and problem-solving skills of engineering with medical and biological science, biomedical engineering improves healthcare delivery and medical practice by closing the gap between engineering and medicine. ​With advancements within IT, data science, and artificial intelligence, a new world of possibilities in how healthcare can be improved and delivered is evolving. This master's programme is an internationally competitive education that aims to educate engineers who can work at the technological front and use modern biomedical technologies to meet a growing need in healthcare sectors and the biomedical engineering industry, but also in other industries that have elements of biomedical engineering technology. The education will give you a broad biomedical technology foundation with a certain focus on medical imaging, medical products and entrepreneurship and digital health. A big emphasis in this programme is on artificial intelligence (AI), which is becoming an essential tool in healthcare and is one of the main drivers for new medical products and services. The quickly emerging technologies for processing large-scale data and machine learning are making automated decision-making in healthcare a reality. The programme broadly connects science and technology with medicine and healthcare science. It is distinctive in that the education is based on cross-disciplinary collaboration between Chalmers, Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg, and Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg. It provides a high clinical relevance through lectures and projects where students get the opportunity to interact with medical doctors and other healthcare professionals. Besides technical and medical aspects, the programme will give you a great understanding of regulatory and ethical issues as well as health economics around biomedical engineering technology development.
