Around the World
There are hundreds of different universities around the world where you can study biomedical engineering. As a part of the establishment of biomedical engineering in Cambodia, a close cooperation has been developed with the Czech Republic, where it is possible to study bachelor, master and doctoral programmes.
The Czech Republic also offers scholarships for those interested in studying biomedical engineering in the Czech Republic. Details are given here: SCHOLARSHIPS
Czech Technical University in Prague Faculty of Biomedical Engineering
Bachelor‘s Degree
It is a university degree which is part of structured higher education studies according to the Bologna Declaration. It is only possible to be studied full-time with the standard length of study 3 years. Upon graduation, i.e. after a successful defence of a bachelor thesis and passing a final state examination, the graduate obtains a Bachelor’s degree (abbreviated as B.Sc.).
A graduate of the Biomedical Technology bachelor program is practically oriented, with broad technical and language skills focused on biomedical and clinical technology. Emphasis is placed on organization, communication, and teamwork. Graduates can work with medical devices, assist during examinations, inspect and maintain instruments, manage hospital information systems, assess failures, and ensure safety. They can also support tenders and staff training. With research and development skills, they are qualified for roles in healthcare facilities, research institutes, and companies involved in developing, producing, and servicing medical equipment.
Master‘s Degree
It is a university degree, which is part of structured higher education studies according to the Bologna Declaration. It is only possible to be studied full-time with the standard length of study 2 years. Upon graduation, i.e. after a successful defence of a master thesis and passing a final state examination, the graduate obtains a Master’s degree (abbreviated as M.Sc.).
Graduates with a biomedical engineer qualification are able to operate, inspect and maintain diagnostic and therapeutic equipment and software within the healthcare facility, including assistance to physicians during the examination of patients. They are able to provide activities related to the registration and operation of medical equipment, to evaluate cases of failure and to create concepts of preventative measures against these failures. Graduates can participate in the acquisition of medical diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, including specification of requirements and carrying out tenders. They are able to train technical staff in the field of medical diagnostics and therapeutic techniques and work safety. Given the ability to engage in developmental and scientific research work, especially of an experimental nature, graduates can also find jobs in companies and institutions involved in the development, production, sale and servicing of medical devices, or creation of software for diagnostic and therapeutic devices and methods intended for health care.
Doctoral Degree
The graduate of the modernized research-oriented doctoral study program Biomedical Engineering will acquire the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for creative work in a scientific research team. The graduate will be able to work not only in traditional scientific workplaces such as research institutes or universities, but also in clinics or private companies. Given the development of the economy, it can be expected that even medium-sized companies will start investing in research and development of new equipment, devices, software, etc. The program responds directly to the growing demand for top biomedical professionals.
