As a ‘technical physician’, you will be equipped to play a vital role in the 21st century medical world.

WHY TECHNICAL MEDICINE?

The Bachelor’s in Technical Medicine is a medical science programme that educates you to become a technical physician. You will become familiar with anatomy, physiology and pathology, and with the workings of, for example, light, sound and radiation - thanks to plenty of mathematics and physics. Technology is playing an increasingly important role in the medical world. You will be trained to improve healthcare diagnostics and therapy through innovative use of technology: you will be a technical-medical specialist with expertise in medicine and engineering. By applying these fi elds of knowledge to your own patients, you will improve the diagnosis and treatment process and enrich regular healthcare. After completing your Technical Medicine Master’s, you will be qualifi ed in the Netherlands to independently diagnose and treat your own patients, like a general practitioner or a dentist. What makes your expertise unique is your ability to apply medical technology.

BECOME A SKILLED TECHNICAL-MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL

Throughout the programme, you will work hard on your professional behaviour. Your internship and the many simulations you will be involved in at our modern Technical Medical Centre will provide you with invaluable knowledge and practical experience. During this challenging programme, you will become a skilled technical-medical professional.

AFTER YOUR BACHELOR’S

As a graduate in Technical Medicine, you will have excellent career perspectives. Many of our graduates choose to follow a Master’s in Technical Medicine. They have a high-level job within three months of getting their degree. Many start out at academic or top clinical hospitals, where they diagnose and treat their own patients, often as part of a specialised, multidisciplinary team. After completing your bachelor’s degree, you can also opt for another master’s at the University of Twente, such as Biomedical Engineering or Health Sciences.
