Master of Biomedical Engineering

FAQ

Do I have to register for all subjects in July/September?

In the July and September enrolment periods, you can enrol for all the credits you need to take, but you can also leave your enrolment open. In February/January there is a period to change/extend your registration. In fact, in the Master's programme, after the first semester exams, we organise a day where all the elective suggests are presented so that you can complete your enrolment in the period dedicated to them.

Do I have to take a speciality?

No. En el Máster hay dos especializaciones: "Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones en Ingeniería Biomédica" y "Biomecánica y Biomateriales Avanzados". Si estás interesado en ambas puedes cursar asignaturas de ambas y complementarlas con alguna de la rama de Tecnologías Horizontales y de Nanomedicina.

If I want to study a speciality, what are the conditions for enrolment and subjects taken?

There are two specialisations in the Master's degree: "Biomechanics and Advanced Biomaterials" and "ICT in Biomedical Engineering". For the degree to appear as "Biomechanics and Advanced Biomaterials", you must take at least 24 credits of the specialisation module within the subjects: 'Biomechanics, Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Technologies', 'Nanomedicine Technologies', 'Horizontal Technologies' and 'Internships'. Provided that at least 18 credits come from the first two subjects. For the degree to appear as "ICT in Biomedical Engineering", you must take at least 24 credits of the specialisation module within the subjects: 'ICT in Biomedical Engineering', 'Horizontal Technologies' and 'Internships'. Provided that at least 18 credits are from the first module.

If I work, can I do a partial registration?

Yes, you can enrol for a minimum of 12 credits and a maximum of 42 credits if you are studying part-time, you must apply before enrolling.
