Vietnamese hospitals need many more highly qualified Biomedical Engineering professionals to manage the operation and maintenance of specialized equipment. The discipline today relies heavily on the availability of the latest hardware and software to facilitate diverse types of research activities, and, once students have learned the basics of their major, they are able to flexibly select options for associated minors, based on their career goals, confirming DTU as their best choice of university.
DTU medical equipment
A major with a future
The field of Biomedical Engineering is developing rapidly worldwide, with the broadening of medical and pharmaceutical applications and the global economy in general. In Vietnam, despite its prevalence, the importance of this field is yet to be recognized. Meanwhile, the demand for university graduates in healthcare is escalating and unsatisfied.
A DTU Biomedical Engineering course takes 4.5 years to complete, and teaches a basic knowledge of mathematics, physics, and biology, together with bioinformatics, diagnostic & image processing, physiological signal processing, biomechanics, biomaterials, systems analysis, and 3D modeling skills.
Students specialize in electronics, biomedical physics, medical devices, and the latest technology related to medical engineering, to meet industry standards. Meanwhile, they steadily assimilate to procedures, such as the development of biocompatible prostheses, diagnostic equipment, and to imaging devices, including ultrasound, X-ray, and CT systems.

Study Biotechnology with the latest medical equipment
DTU students work together on a variety of projects in special laboratories in the centers of Molecular Biology; Advanced Chemistry (CACE); Molecular Biology (CEMB); Electrical-Electronics (CEE); Mechanical Engineering (CME); the School of Medicine and Pharmacy (CMP); and Medical Simulation (MedSIM), all providing a full range of state-of-the-art educational equipment. Students are mentored in their research by highly experienced lecturers and staff and final year students intern at hospitals and companies that manufacture medical devices in Danang.

DTU Biomedical Engineering graduates work at healthcare centers, government agencies, companies, businesses, schools and research institutions in microbiology, industry, agriculture, food, the environment, medicine, and Nano biology jobs. Alternatively, they establish their own medical supply or medical technology companies.
