Internships
During the Master’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering, students have the opportunity to carry out internships in companies that will allow them to apply the knowledge acquired in a real professional environment. These internships are organized in two phases: Company Internship I, which takes place in the second semester, and Company Internship II, in the third semester.
Internship I
They are taken in the second semester. They are carried out in collaboration with various institutions and companies in the biomedical engineering sector, providing students with experience in the development and management of health technologies.
Internship II
They are taken in the third semester. These internships are also carried out in collaboration with companies and focus on the design and use of medical equipment.
This internship model contributes to train competent professionals, prepared to face the challenges of the biomedical field.
