Overview

Our MSc in Biomedical Engineering specialise though not only courses taught by the Department of Engineering but from other departments as well. Students may as well be expected to take courses and participate in research at our partner universities.

Quick Facts:

Technology is playing an increasing role in every industry, especially the health sector. Humanity has never been healthier, and this in no small part due to advances in biomedical technologies. Today, understanding and overcoming health-related challenges requires multidisciplinary professionals who thrive in both biomedical and engineering environments. At RU, we understand this.
Our aim is to improve human health through excellence in research and education, integrating engineering with biology, neuroscience and medicine.
Graduates from our Biomedical Engineering programme at Reykjavík University enter the workforce with the knowledge and expertise needed to excel in various specialities, including prosthetics, artificial organs, biometrics systems, medical devices manufacture, clinical engineering, rehabilitation, sport science and tissue engineering.
