The objective and the purpose of MSc program in "Biomedical Engineering" is to provide advanced education, so that its graduates acquire the required qualifications to meet the ever-increasing demand for high level specialization in the field. Graduates of MSc program in "Biomedical Engineering" (BME) will be able to follow academic careers towards pursuing a PhD degree, to work in research centers or in hospitals and medical centers.

The mission of the BME programme is summarized as follows:

• To offer of a high-level postgraduate education to graduates of academic institutions with the aim of understanding and deepening in the basic principles and methods in Bio-Medical Engineering,

• To enhance research in this field though the staffing research institutions with the programme’s graduates,

• To educate future leaders of the biomedical engineering industry,

• To enhance the innovation capacity in the subjects of BME both at the level of large companies and at the level of start-ups,

• To develop long-term international cooperation at both the scientific and the business level,

• To improve the health care services through staffing of Medical Centers with the programme’s graduates,
