This Master’s offers in-depth knowledge on state-of-the-art biomedical technologies, fostering an innovative and enterprising attitude indispensable for a successful career. We are also witnessing a revolution in the nature of medicine and therapies and the way they are produced. The future of medicine will be dominated by concepts such as molecular medicine, personalized medicine and advanced therapies (cellular therapy, genetics and tissue engineering).
This change also affects so-called business models, which will clearly be different from those that have existed up to now in the large pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies which, along with our hospitals, will require professionals trained in the new concept of medicine and the technologies supporting it.
The Master in Management and Development of Biomedical Technologies is designed to train a new type of professional in:
- Biomedical technologies with special emphasis on genetic, biomolecular, cellular and tissue bioengineering; stem cells; nanotechnology and nanomedicine; omics technologies and personalized medicine; systems and synthetic biology
- Management, development and transfer of new biomedical technologies in public and private environments
The students receive an exhaustive practical training in the laboratories of the Department of Bioengineering of the UC3M, which is complemented with the development of a business plan and the Master Thesis in prestigious centers. Since its inception in the 2015-2016 academic year, the master's students have been able to carry out experimental work under the supervision of the laboratories of the Biomedical Engineering Department (TERMeG group), as well as in Public Research Centers, Hospitals and Companies.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ACADEMIC YEAR 2020/21
The Master in Management and Development of Biomedical Technologies will be taught next academic year 2020/21 partly Synchronous Online Teaching combining with on Campus small classes to ensure the prevention and social distancing measures in classrooms. This bimodal teaching modality will be flexible in any case, being able to extend or retract depending on the different health situations, so that it allows to face the different scenarios in which we can find ourselves during the next academic year.
All students must have the necessary equipment to follow classes remotely (device with internet connection and webcam. See Student’s Guide). Due to the restrictions in the use of computer rooms on Campus it may be necessary to take your own computer equipment for its use in the classroom.
UC3M has a laptop loan program for students who need it.
