The programme creates a platform for understanding the involvement of surface science in biomedicine and biotechnology. You will get theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the areas of biomedical activities which require expertise beyond traditional disciplines of biomedicine, chemistry or biology.

The programme is carried out in close collaboration with regional industry representatives, and provides an up to date overview on research and development work in the area of biomedical technology. Education is conducted by researchers and lecturers who participate in an industrially relevant research network called Biofilms – Research Center for Biointerfaces. Our experimental facilities combine chemistry, cell and molecular biology, and bioanalytical laboratories.

What is Biomedical Surface Science?

Biomedical surface science refers to the knowledge and understanding of the theoretical and practical integration of surface chemistry in applied aspects of cell biology, immunology, molecular biology and nanotechnology. Biomedical surface science also includes specialised knowledge of surface chemistry in applied areas of cell biology, immunology, molecular biology, nano-biotechnology and colloid chemistry.

Drugs and biotechnology:

• small molecules — synthetic organic molecules
• biologics — biological molecules made by living organisms (biotechnology)

Devices and diagnostics:

• medical devices industry
• diagnostics — IVD (in-vitro diagnostics)

Internationalisation:

There are various opportunities for you to do part of your studies in another country. For example, you can do an exchange semester, write a thesis or do an internship abroad. Opportunities may vary depending on your course of study.

As a student at the Faculty of Health and Society, you have the opportunity to participate in various international activities both locally and abroad, and earn what is called a Certificate of International Merits (CIM). The CIM functions as a supplement to your diploma, demonstrating: your international experience; your academic, personal and professional development; your intercultural competence; and your ability to compare international contexts related to your career.
