Τhe mission of the proposed master program in Biomedical Engineering of the Cyprus University of Technology is to perform cutting-edge research, to educate future leaders in a wide range of biomedical science, to create graduates who are well trained in the fundamental sciences of Biomedical engineering, experienced in troubleshooting, and especially able to learn analytical tools needed for life sciences.
The biomedical engineering program is an important science because quantitative methods of engineering and science systems play a central role in the diagnosis, treatment, and design of medical systems.
The biomedical engineering program will develop and promote the science of biomedical engineering through innovative research and education aimed at the full integration of engineering methods into the mainstream of health care.
The biomedical engineering program will be the main source of discoveries and proper education by strengthening key academic, industrial and clinical bonds, and thus achieving a significant impact on health care.
Graduate students will come from a variety of academic backgrounds, ranging from electrical engineers, physicists, mechanical engineers and biochemists. The program consists of professors of the Department of Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering and Information Technology and Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering. It is necessary that the program is composed of different fields to solve difficult biological problems. The engineering faculties conduct research that is interdisciplinary.
The proposed Master's program is aimed at high-level training in the field of Biomedical Engineering. The program is designed to meet current and future needs of Cypriot industry. This is achieved by in-depth study and deepening in advanced topics biomaterials, signal processing, medical imaging and therapeutic devices.
At the same time, students will specialize in areas of biomedical technology by preparing Master thesis, under the supervision of academic staff of the school. Graduates will be able to respond to current technological challenges in biomedical engineering and to continue their studies at the doctoral level.
Faculties and researchers from various departments of the CUT will be connected to the program and can be mentors for students.
