Goal of Biomedical Technology doctoral study program isto deepen researching knowledge about new biomaterials, usage of the up-to-date information technologies, electronics, robotics, etc, as well as development of the modern technology accompanying fields. Apart from theoretical themes, lectures, seminars and laboratory work, syllabus also demands fundamental, applicative and developmental researching project tasks.
After accomplishing doctoral study, candidates will be competent to carry out independent research and acquire new scientific recognitions, to develop new diagnostic and treatment methods in depth, and will be qualified for faster application of diagnostic and treatment methods from abroad. Candidates will also be able to conduct research clinical work, as well as applicative and fundamental research work in depth.
Throughout Biomedical Technology program we will strive to:
· educate students in the field of biomedical technology
· to enable basic and applicative research and clinical study within wide range of biomedical technology, for example in health care, virtual medicine, telemedicine, public health and measurement procedures, analysis of bioelectrical signals, gerontotechnology, robotics, computing, modeling and analysis of the images, biomaterials in medicine, etc.
The structure of the study programme:
1st year:
Obligatory subjects: (Bioinformatics - 10 ECTS credits, Seminar - 5 ECTS credits, Individual research work - IRW 15 ECTS credits) and Six basic subjects, of which students can chooses three and gain 30 ECTS credits
2nd year:
Candidate gains 15 ECTS credits with three Optional subjects, and 45 ECTS credits with IRW
3rd year:
Candidate gains 60 ECTS credits with IRW, required for doctoral dissertation.
Biomedical Technology lasts 6 semesters (3 years). Study obligations of the whole programme are entirely in conformity with the Law and Measures of the Council of the Republic of Slovenia for Higher Education (ZViS, 36. in 37. Article). Study program is evaluated by ECTS - European Credit Transfer System. Thus the program can be directly included in the international student exchange programme with the countries also applying ECTS.
