Bachelor’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering
Real simulation environments and state-of-the-art equipment
Biomedical engineering provides an opportunity for engineers and technologists to use their skills to address some of the biggest challenges facing human life, improving quality of life and curing pathologies. The Biomedical Engineering sector ranges from gene therapies to scanners for hospitals, through medical image analysis, among others.
There is a great demand to train professionals who can find a solution to these global health challenges, which is why the sector has grown exponentially in the last two decades, and there is a great demand for degrees related to the development of these skills.
The World Health Organization (“Human resources for medical devices: The role of biomedical engineers”. 2017), states that more biomedical engineering professionals are needed to design, test, regulate, maintain and manage medical devices and provide training on their safe use in healthcare systems around the world.
This program is taught in collaboration with various companies, institutions and medical centers, such as the Genetics Service of the Ramón y Cajal Hospital, and the Advanced Planning and 3D Manufacturing Unit (UPAM3D) of the Gregorio Marañón University Hospital. Some members of these services will give seminars, classes and direct student's final research projects, bringing clinical translation closer and allowing students to develop professional competences.
The Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering from Nebrija University came to be due to the need to create professionals who are capable of providing solutions focused on improving people's quality of life, combining engineering, biology and medicine.

The Strategic Lines and Priority Research to which they are related are Health, active ageing, the new digital Industry, and advanced materials.
The Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering has collaboration agreements with some of the best companies and institutions in the sector, where students can complete their professional internships and thus obtain a highly demanding first work experience.
Some of these companies and institutions are:
Employability recognized in the Rankings
The commitment of Nebrija University to the academic requirement, training in leading companies and institutions, innovation in multidisciplinary programs and international projection, places the University in the top positions of the most important rankings.
The International Ranking QS Stars awards Nebrija University the maximum score in the quality and satisfaction of students in teaching, employability of the graduates and the internationalization of the institution.
The national rankings also recognize Nebrija University as the first Spanish university in teaching and second in employability, highlighting its performance in research, knowledge transfer and internationalization.
The Bologna Declaration formalized the principles on which the European Higher Education Area should be based: quality, mobility, diversity, competitiveness and employment growth.
From this, Nebrija stands as an academic model of reference, educating students with excellent individual behavior, interaction with their environment and motivated by and for constant and continuous training. The Nebrija Institute of Professional Skills works every day to achieve the differentiation of our students through the development of attitudes and skills.
The main objective is for students to achieve the best of themselves through the development and empowerment of their personal skills and resources through personal self-knowledge.
In addition, some of the professional skills that are worked on within the three seminars are those related to interpersonal skills and active communication skills and negotiation, indispensable for our students to know how to transmit ideas, to argue them, to provide information and opinions in an adequate, clear and convincing way.
Within what will be their work performance, other aspects such as teamwork, conflict resolution and project management ability will be worked on.
In the third block, skills worked on are those aimed at increasing the student's employability. They will work with tools and techniques for job searching, and perform tasks that achieve in the student a greater use of their personal skills.
For all this we have currently active experts in selection of people, professionals dedicated to personal and professional training and professionals dedicated to the world of communication and the arts.
In this way, and in a complementary way to his/her specific training, we help the student create a differentiating pattern in the social and business environment in which he/she will be immersed when he/she finishes his/her studies.
International
Nebrija University has an International Mobility Office (IMO), which allows students to enjoy the experience of a mobility period in a country and environment other than their own, with the corresponding academic recognition. It is a fundamental part of the university's internationalization. We offer and manage the mobility of our Bachelor's degree students, as well as receive international students every Semester. To do this, we structure ourselves into 3 areas: Outgoing, Incoming and Erasmus.
In addition, to facilitate the international mobility of students, subjects that are a regular part of the curricula of foreign universities have been concentrated, within the Bologna plan. In the same way, the fourth year is considered as a possible year for students to carry out national or international internships (30 credits), while their final research project is supervised by the tutor using specific videoconference tools such as Blackboard Collaborate.
Specifically, the following existing agreements apply to students pursuing the Bachelor's in Biomedical Engineering:
In all of them, there are general agreements for the exchange of one student or for two semesters. Due to the great flexibility, more places can be established depending on student demand. Once the Bachelor's Degree is established, efforts will be made to internationalize it by signing new agreements with universities to promote cultural and academic exchanges.
Additionally, there are over 80 bilateral agreements with universities worldwide, applicable to any degree at the university, and more than 60 Erasmus agreements to facilitate student mobility.
At the same time, we manage scholarships from public and private organizations for both students and staff (PDI/PAS). [+info]
