The Master’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering (MEB) provides a multidisciplinary, up-to-date, and innovative education at the interface between Engineering and Medicine. The course is provided in partnership by Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa (ISEL) and Escola Superior de Saúde de Lisboa (ESSL), resulting in a truly interdisciplinary and comprehensive study plan supported by a wide range of specialists from diverse fields.

The study plan is designed to accommodate students from diverse academic backgrounds, primarily those holding degrees in engineering, health sciences, and natural sciences. It includes a broad selection of elective course units, allowing students to align their studies with their specialization interests and current market demands. Examples of specialization areas include:
 

• Medical Instrumentation and Biomedical Signal Processing
• Medical Imaging and Image Processing
• Medical Physics
• Biomechanics and Medical Devices
• Molecular Diagnostics and Cell and Tissue Engineering
• Nanotechnology and Biosensors
• Machine Learning in Biomedical Systems
• Healthcare Quality Management and Medical Equipment Management 

In a field with growing demand in both national and international markets, MEB graduates pursue careers across various sectors, including: the pharmaceutical, medical, and biotechnology industries; medical software and digital health companies focused on intelligent imaging-based diagnostic systems; research and development institutes and centers in the healthcare sector; companies producing diagnostic, therapeutic, rehabilitation, and life-support equipment; healthcare management consulting firms; as well as government agencies and accreditation and certification bodies. Graduates establish themselves as multidisciplinary professionals, prepared to lead projects with a direct impact on the modernization of healthcare and the improvement of quality of life.

The course is delivered primarily in a post-work schedule, with classes held on weekdays after 6:00 PM or on Saturday mornings. Some elective course units may occasionally be offered during daytime hours. Course timetables are made available in advance to facilitate the selection of elective course units. The schedules are organized in a modular format to minimize travel to the Institute/School. For example, mandatory course units in the 1st and 2nd semesters will preferably be concentrated into two days per week.
