Level:  doctoral academic studies

Upon end of the studies student will receive a title: Ph.d. biomedical engineering

This program leads to the acquisition of scientific name Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering and Technology. The study program is three years or six semesters, and has a total volume of 180 ECTS. Study program consists of compulsory courses and two elective blocks of 8 and 6 elective courses, of which the student chooses two. The first three semesters are dedicated to teaching and beginning work on doctoral dissertation. It is mandatory that a student pass eight exams, which made a total of 75 ECTS. Special course in biomedical engineering (15 ECTS) following the deposit in the compulsory subjects and optional subjects of the Plan. The program is modular and individual, tailored to the subject of doctoral theses, selected in accordance with mentors and approved by the Program Council directions of biomedical engineering and technology. Special Course consists of three modules: a) Introduction to scientific research (5 ECTS), b) work which explains in detail the proposal of the doctoral thesis (5 ECTS), v) defense of doctoral thesis before the Commission Council of the Programme (5 ECTS). Doctoral thesis is in the fourth, fifth and sixth semester after passing the exams, and the Special Course.

Biomedical engineering and technology have grown as a major interdisciplinary fields in modern science. Biomedical engineers apply modern approaches to the experimental study of the living world combined with theoretical and computational methods in the field of engineering sciences, mathematics, biology, physics to the solution of fundamental problems of fundamental importance for medicine. This program is designed to provide students practice using concepts that were adopted at the edge of reality and the limits of nature. In the framework of multidisciplinary education in the field of biomedicine will be developed methods of monitoring and implementing the highest standards of similar standards applied in the leading educational institutions in Europe and worldwide. Quality of work will be monitored through the quantified criteria (publications in journals with high impact factor, participation in projects financed by the European Community, and potentially the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation and other North American institutions. One form of recognition is integration and organization of joint programs with European schools.

Students who complete the program in biomedical engineering are becoming prepared for research, development of new methods, work in a multidisciplinary team, translation of basic research results in the field of biomedical engineering in the development of new devices in the domain primarily of health technologies. The program provides the basis for the integration of fundamental research in biomedical science. Students who complete this program must be at work on his dissertation prove that they are able to give results of their work in ways that are at the highest level compared to international standards by publishing at least two papers in journals that are on the list of Web of Science (ISI ).

Students with college and masters degree in related areas with GPA 8 and above are elligible to apply
