As an engineer in healthcare technology you combine electronics and IT with healthcare knowledge and understanding. You work with the development of new and intelligent healthcare technologies, and you learn to use technology to improve the framework for both patients and professionals in the healthcare sector. The first four semesters contain a number of compulsory subjects such as mathematics, electronics, physiology and pathology, programming and communication. Teaching is based on lectures and classroom teaching, though you will also spend a lot of time on independent study, exercises and project work.
