Overview
The study programme prepares medical physical technology engineers who work in healthcare institutions as equipment operators and managers; in medical equipment distributors and service representative offices; in certification and monitoring institutions; in production, design and research institutions. Medical physical technology engineers know how to design and improve medical equipment, are familiar with their physical and technical principles of operation, production and construction technologies, participate in the selection and installation of equipment and systems used in medicine, organize their regulation, repair, monitoring and testing. Medical physicists working in health care institutions, monitoring and radiation safety institutions are able to plan and monitor radiation technologies, perform patient and staff dosimetry, organize service, monitoring and testing of equipment and systems, provide radiation safety measures.During studies, students learn fundamental engineering study courses, industry theoretical, information technology and professional specialization study courses, as well as humanitarian and social, economic and management study courses. A 25-week internship is planned during the studies.The structure of the study programme consists of: compulsory study courses, limited optional study courses, which include professional specialization study courses, humanitarian and social study courses, languages. The specialized study courses are grouped into modules, providing students with the opportunity to specialize in the following areas: medical equipment, medical physics and nanomedicine, e-medicine, medical electronics, biomechanics and auxiliary technologies, medical materials, medical engineering business. At the end of the studies, students develop a bachelor thesis and an engineering project, obtaining a professional bachelor degree in medical physics and the engineer qualification of a medical physical technologies.
