FACULTY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

1st CYCLE

WITHOUT SPECIALISATION FULL-TIME: 7 SEMESTERS

Students of the 1st cycle of Biomedical Engineering degree programmes have an opportunity to obtain knowledge indispensable for creatively and comprehensively solving engineering tasks related to the design and operation of devices supporting human locomotion, implants, and artificial organs, technical instrumentation applied in hospitals, as well as rehabilitation equipment. Having graduated their degree programme, an engineer will be prepared for work in interdisciplinary teams conducting research and development work on devices expected to operate accurately and safely together with the human body. Apart from theoretical knowledge, students have an opportunity to acquire skills in the area of applying modern computer tools (graphics and computation software) supporting the design process. Graduates of biomedical engineering will be perfectly prepared to pursue 2nd cycle degree programmes at many technical universities.

EMPLOYMENT PROSPECTS

• Companies designing and manufacturing medical and rehabilitation instrumentation, as well as devices supporting human locomotion
• Companies designing and manufacturing implants and artificial organs
• Automotive companies, particularly departments dealing with the driver’s, passengers’, and pedestrians’ safety, and those producing vehicles for the disabled as well as vehicles for special purposes (e.g. ambulances)
• Hospitals, as medical engineers operating advanced technical devices such as mechatronic rehabilitation devices, robots, and medical manipulators

2nd CYCLE

WITHOUT SPECIALISATION FULL-TIME: 3 SEMESTERS

Graduates of 2nd cycle degree programmes have knowledge and skills indispensable for stimulating technological progress in the field of broadly understood biomedical engineering. They are prepared for planning and conducting experimental studies as well as applying numerical methods for creative solutions to complex issues in the field of mechanics and biomechanics. They have the ability to tackle creative engineering undertakings and managing interdisciplinary teams. 2nd cycle biomedical engineering degree programmes ensure excellent preparation for professional activity, catering particularly to people interested in pursuing scientific and research work.

EMPLOYMENT PROSPECTS

• Companies designing and manufacturing modern implants and artificial organs
• Hospitals and medical units - in the area of the operation of manipulators and medical robots cooperating with navigation systems

Research and development units - in the area of tasks requiring the ability to plan and conduct experimental studies, among other things
