Summary of the Profile
General Description:
Medical engineering studies are interdisciplinary studies at the intersection of engineering, biology and medical sciences, which are aimed at solving human health problems through advances in disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention technologies. The purpose of medical engineering is to improve the quality of health services through technical means - creating and designing technical equipment to improve medicine and human health. The aim of the study program: to prepare medical engineers who, after completing the study program, would successfully enter the labor market related to the provision of health care services, by getting employment in companies performing activities related to multi-purpose medical equipment or in state enterprises or in another field chosen by the graduate, or continue to pursue a scientific degree and , applying the practice of engineering creativity and critical thinking, realizing the influence and importance of their decisions on the development of society, constantly raising professional qualifications and competence through lifelong learning, would contribute to the welfare of the state and society.
