This qualification seeks to consolidate and enhance the studies of the Degree in Biomedical Engineering, providing students with a broad spectrum of training, which meets the needs of having highly qualified technical personnel to design and apply new and advanced technologies in the healthcare field, and thus complete a training that covers all the stages and aspects related to healthcare technologies and products.
It is taught in collaboration with the Vigo University Hospital Complex, with part of the training taking place in its facilities. This dual training design responds to the new demands of training that combines teaching in university centers with that which needs to be developed by professionals in the healthcare sector, thus combining technical-scientific training and technological practice, with adequate training in the basic disciplines of medicine, which allows graduates of this master's degree to solve any specific engineering problem that arises in the healthcare field.

Admission Requirements
Access and admission
Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the master's degree, it is important that the entry profile presents a basic training characteristic of any engineering: Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, ...
Likewise, it is important that it also presents knowledge in both technological content and that related to the part of biomedical science: fundamentals of electronics for biomedicine, fundamentals of electricity, mechanical systems, materials science and engineering, biochemistry and cell biology, general physiology, medical structure and pathology and medical-surgical structure and pathology, biostatistics, ...
Therefore, in accordance with the merit assessment criteria established in the following section, graduates in Biomedical Engineering from any Spanish or foreign university who meet the characteristics indicated above will be admitted, where applicable, without additional training, always taking as a reference the Degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Vigo.
For the rest of the applications in possession of a degree in Biomedical Engineering that meet the access requirements, but with a profile that does not fit the reference curriculum, the academic committee of the master's degree, once the curricula have been analyzed, will establish the training complements that must be taken.
Applications for admission to the Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering that meet the access conditions and specific admission requirements will be evaluated by the master's academic committee in accordance with the following formula: average grade of the student's transcript/average grade of their degree.
