General Information

Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field which uses the knowledge and technology of medical, fundamntal sciences and engineering fields to diagnoise nd treat the medical problems of biological systems. The field of biomedical engineering has seen a dramatic escalation in activity over the past 20 years leading to the development of a wide variety of medical devices, medical procedures, and a basic understanding of biological processes.

İt is not easy to understand live systems due to their complexity. As a response to its complexity, biomedical engineers are responsible for producing high technology medical equipment and biological instrumentation, for devising new and efficient methods for physiological measurements, medical data processing and analysis, for developing prosthetic materials and artificial organs, and for introducing the suitable technological developments to the health care system. with the collaboration of doctors, scientists and engineers

Program Profile

The aim of the program is to specialize biomedical engineers responding to the needs of the industry and the health system. The program provides a qualitative and a comprehensive higher education opportunity to the candidates that are thinking about a career in biomedical engineering. The students from many fields can be accepted the graduate program provided as the admission requirements are satisfied. Candidates get a degree of Master of Science (MSc) in Biomedical Engineering after the graduation requirements and regulations are completed.

Biomedical engineers work with a wide range of medical, technical and administrative staff and, at times, patients. Typical employers of biomedical engineers; hospitals, universities, research organisations, and diagnostic/medical instrumentation manufacturers.

Master's Program of Department of Biomedical Engineering with thesis has been started at 2010-2011 Fall semester. The program language is Turkish. However, some of the courses can also be taught in English. The aim of the program is to train qualified biomedical engineers according to the need of medical industry and health care system. In addition to Industry, the program also aims to educate the motivated canditates who may think about a research in the academic field.
