Degree in Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical Engineering consists of solving problems and projects in medicine and biology, often using Information and Communication Technologies. It covers advanced analysis of data, signals, and medical images, as well as programming languages and computer architectures, including the communications required in hospital information systems or Big Data.

For full-time students doing an undergraduate degree, the maximum period of time allowed to complete the degree is eight years. Part-time students can request an extension of up to two years from the Rector.
In the degrees that have more than to 240 credits (4 years), the maximum stated in the previous section will be increased by one year for each 60 ECTS that are added to the 240 ECTS.
Students have to pass a minimum of two subjects in the first year. Students who are studying part-time have to pass at least one subject in the first academic year.
Students who are studying an official degree at Rey Juan Carlos University have a maximum of four enrollments in each one of the subjects in the study program, without counting previous cancellations of said subjects.

As an entrance profile, the student is recommended to have training and / or good predisposition on the subjects of mathematics and physics, as well as chemistry and biology. In addition, interest and capacity for growth are highly desirable in aspects such as abstraction capacity, interaction with multidisciplinary teams, information and communication technologies, professional responsibility, and individual and group work capacity.

Biomedical Engineering (BI) consists of applying the principles and methods of engineering to the understanding, definition, and resolution of problems in biology and medicine. In this setting, the objective of the program is to promote the advanced and multidisciplinary training in professionals in the analysis and processing of data, signals and medical images for the creation of support systems for diagnosis and decision making in the clinical practice. This program is developed in a highly multidisciplinary environment, combining:

The teaching and research experience. together with resources that the Rey Juan Carlos University (URJC) has in virtue of its wide educational offer in degrees and postgraduates in the framework of the health sciences and engineering.
The clinical, professional and research experience in the biomedical field, provided by the University Hospital Foundation of Alcorcón, the University Hospital of Móstoles, and the University Hospital of Fuenlabrada.
The potential of the growing number of companies in the electromedicine and eHealth area, in our community and in our country. These companies are currently at a turning point towards competitiveness through the recruitment of multidisciplinary graduates, specifically prepared for the current environment and the expected growth in coming years.
The general objectives of the program have been designed in accordance with the guidelines of the General Directorate of Universities regarding the normative framework of Royal Decree 1393/2007.
