The aim of the programme is to raise graduates that are able to solve engineering problems, especially in the field of design and development of modern electronic devices and software applications in the area of medicine and biology.

Graduates obtain solid foundations for individual scientific work in these areas and for continuing in post-graduate study programmes at both local and foreign universities. They may find use in medical facilities, research and development teams or various management positions.

This is a phasing-out master’s program; students will be admitted for the last time in the 2026/2027 academic year, and it must be completed by August 2028 at the latest. After that, the accreditation will expire. Starting in the 2027/2028 academic year, the program will be replaced by a new version.

If you are enrolled in this phasing-out master’s program, you should do your utmost to organize your studies so that you can complete the program by the summer of 2028, or at least complete as many courses as possible. If you realize that you are unlikely to succeed, contact the program coordinator, Jan Kybic, or the coordinators of the missing courses as soon as possible. We will arrange for substitutes for all required courses. However, alternatives may not always be available in a semester that is convenient for you. Therefore, it is a good idea to plan everything well in advance so that you do not have to unnecessarily extend your studies. For required-elective courses, you may have to substitute the course you selected with another one. We will strive to create a table of information on individual courses and their possible substitutes, which will be posted here; however, we do not yet have complete information available.

Tailor-made studies

A study plan with a great amount of elective courses allows to profile oneself according to one’s visions. It is possible e.g. to specialize in a commercial way with an intent of finding own company when courses by the Department of Economics, Management and Humanities may come in useful. If the student is interested in data analysis or neural networks, he may choose from the offers of the Department of Computer Science or the Department of Cybernetics.

Graduate profile

Our graduates mostly work in research and development teams, collaborate with medical facilities but also find employment in technological companies on technical, business and management positions. They also have a good basis for individual scientific work and may therefore continue with post-graduate study programmes at both local and foreign universities.

In order to obtain a supplemental qualification of “biomedical engineer”, it is is neccesary to pass an extra course demanded by the laws of Czechia. Similarly as for doctors, there are also postgraduate certifications for non-doctor workers.
