Presentation

General information about the degree

📚 General Description

The Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering at the UPV/EHU provides interdisciplinary training that integrates knowledge of engineering, biology and medicine. Its main aim is to equip students to design, develop and maintain medical technologies and devices that support the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease. The main areas of study include biomedical instrumentation, bioinformatics, medical imaging, biomechanics, biomedical signals and hospital systems management.

✨ Specific Information

The curriculum combines theoretical and practical subjects, with specialised laboratories and projects that encourage students to apply the knowledge they have acquired. Collaboration with hospitals and research centres is common for external placements and final degree projects. The programme may offer international mobility opportunities through Erasmus agreements and other exchange arrangements.

👤 Recommended Profile

This degree is aimed at students interested in science, technology and health who have analytical skills, problem-solving abilities and the motivation to work in multidisciplinary environments. A solid foundation in mathematics, physics and biology is recommended.

🚀 Career Pathways

After completing the degree, graduates can continue their academic education through specialised master's programmes in biomedical engineering, bioengineering, healthcare technologies or other related fields, or enter the profession at biomedical companies, hospitals, research centres or institutions connected to health and technology.

Medicine

Medicine is one of the most demanding degree subjects and one of those that requires the strongest sense of vocation. You will learn how the human body works, from its cells to its most complex systems, and how to diagnose and treat diseases. The programme combines rigorous science with real patient contact from the first years of study. Anatomy, physiology and biochemistry of the human body Pharmacology and how medicines work Medical and surgical conditions affecting every body system Clinical skills: physical examination, diagnosis and decision-making Practical placements in hospitals and health centres Medical ethics and communication with patients After graduating, you can sit the MIR examination and specialise in fields such as paediatrics, surgery, psychiatry, cardiology and many more.
