Welcome to Master’s Programme Physics Methods and Information Technologies in Biomedicine.
PROGRAMME INFORMATION
The Master’s Programme ‘Physics Methods and Information Technologies in Biomedicine‘ is worth a total of 120 ECTS (EU). The Programme is offered jointly by the Faculty of Physics in Tomsk State University (The Russian Federation) and the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Science in Maastricht University (The Netherlands). The Programme has strong partnership with Siberian State Medical University (The Russian Federation).
The programme aims for adventurous top students who are motivated to work hard in interdisciplinary fields of science.
The programme will opt for a multi- and interdisciplinary approach and a variety of teaching methods in the form of task-, problem- and project-based learn ing, lecture-based and practical work — all aimed at increasing student’s responsibility, independence and competences.
[su_spoiler title=”About the Programme” icon=”arrow-circle-1″]
Physics methods involving laser radiation, X-ray apparatus, computed tomography, MRI, and methods and tools of nuclear medicine are now widely used in medicine for treatment and diagnosis. Complex electronic equipment – various types of accelerators, thermal imaging cameras, EEG devices – is becoming more popular. Advanced information technologies and high-performance computing systems enable efficient processing of multidimensional data. Consequently, knowledge in physics, mathematics, electronic, computer science and comprehensive understanding of medical tasks are required to provide research and healthcare institutions with qualified specialists.
On the other hand, rapid growth of knowledge in such spheres as virology, bacteriology, immunology, oncology, genetic engineering, and genetic therapy is accompanied by increasing attention to the influence of the environment on human health. Biophysics, bioelectronics, and nanotechnologies provide great opportunities for developing new medicine, screening methods, and highly sensitive biosensors.
The Master’s Programme allows students to gain knowledge in modern physics, information technologies, and biomedicine and helps them to broaden their understanding and improve their professional skills in natural sciences.
Of great importance is the application of physics concepts and modern physics methods and techniques, devices, and technologies to research into the human body and enhancement of the quality of diagnosis, prevention, and treatment.
