About the department
Medical Technology study programme
Medical Technology study programme is a combination of engineering, medicine, IT and physics. Health care is constantly in the need for new technologies that help to improve the diagnosis and treatment processes. Graduates of Medical Technology study programme might deal with functional diagnostics and take care of the equipment in intensive care or be responsible for the procurement, maintenance and safety of medical equipment in a hospital. In scientific research we cover the fields of biomedicine, neurology, nephrology and cardiovascular medicine.
MoreDigital health study programme
Digital health is an integral part of health care. It is said, that in the 21st century, health care is no longer a medical science, but rather an information science. 30% of the data stored in the world is health data. In TalTech, we operate as a study- , research- and development establishment in the field of digital health. Our international study programme provides knowledge on how to implement innovative solutions in health care. Scientists value digital services and provide recommendations on how to digitalize health care wisely. Our mission is to make health care future proof with smart digitalization.
MorePhD Programme
Admissions to doctoral studies take place throughout the year according to the schedule of public competition.
MoreCENTRE FOR BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
