Realistic simulation environments and state-of-the-art equipment
Biomedical engineering provides an opportunity for engineers and technologists to use their skills to address some of the biggest challenges facing human life, improving the quality of life and curing pathologies.
The Biomedical Engineering sector ranges from gene therapies to hospital scanners to medical image analysis, among others.
There is a great demand to train professionals who can find a solution to these global health challenges, so the sector has grown exponentially in the last two decades, and there is a great demand for degrees related to the development of these skills.
Learning by solving real cases
The World Health Organisation ("Human resources for medical devices: The role of biomedical engineers". 2017), states that more biomedical engineering professionals are needed to design, evaluate, regulate, maintain and manage medical devices and provide training on their safe use in healthcare systems around the world.
This programme is delivered in collaboration with different companies, institutions and medical centres, such as the Genetics Service of the Ramón y Cajal Hospital, or the Advanced Planning and 3D Manufacturing Unit (UPAM3D) of the Gregorio Marañón University Hospital. Some members of these services will give seminars, classes and direct students' final projects, bringing students closer to clinical translation and allowing them to develop their professional skills.
The Degree in Biomedical Engineering at Nebrija University was born from the need to create professionals who are able to provide solutions focused on improving the quality of life of people, combining engineering, biology and medicine.

Professional Outings
Students easily find work in their first year of postgraduate studies, in research institutions or in companies and institutions in the sector. Moreover, due to the strong technical character of this degree and the skills developed, graduates could also work at the forefront of other areas of engineering, such as computer science, automation, etc.
The subject matter addressed by this degree is aligned with national frameworks (such as the EECTI), European frameworks (such as the Horizon Europe Strategic Plan) and the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The strategic and Priority Research Lines with which they are related are Health, active ageing, the new digital Industrial, and advanced materials.
Graduates will be able to develop their professional career in sectors such as:
- Diagnostic equipment, monitoring and medical image analysis companies.
- Biotechnology, systems biology and biomedical technology companies.
- Companies providing technology-based healthcare services
- Pharmaceutical companies
- Hospitals, laboratories and clinical services
- Teaching and research
Internships in companies
The Degree in Biomedical Engineering has collaboration agreements with some of the best companies and institutions in the sector, where students can do their professional internships and thus obtain their first highly demanding work experience.
Some of these companies and institutions are:

Nebrija University has an International Mobility Office (IMO), which allows students to enjoy the experience of a period of mobility in a country and environment other than their own with the corresponding academic recognition. It is a fundamental part of the internationalisation of the university. We offer and manage the mobility of our undergraduate students, as well as receiving international students every semester. To do so, we are structured in 3 areas: Outgoing, Incoming and Erasmus.
In addition, in order to facilitate the international mobility of students, we have concentrated subjects that are part of the curricula of foreign universities, within the Bologna plan. Likewise, the fourth year is proposed as a possible course for national or international internships (30 credits), while the tutor of the final degree project continues to monitor the students using specific videoconferencing tools such as Blackboard Collaborate.
Specifically, for the Degree in Biomedical Engineering, the following existing agreements apply to students:
Germany
Technical College Munich
Technical College Deggendorf
Germany
Technical College Munich
Technical College Deggendorf
All of them have agreements for the exchange of one or two students per semester. However, there is great flexibility, and more places can be established depending on student demand. Once the Degree has been established, work will be done on its internationalisation, signing new agreements between universities to promote cultural and academic exchanges.
In addition, there are more than 80 bilateral agreements with universities around the world, for any degree of the university, and more than 60 Erasmus agreements for student mobility.
We also manage grants from public and private organisations for both students and staff (PDI/PAS) [+info].
