Prepares future engineers for progressive jobs
MSc in biomedical engineering
Ragnhildur Guðmundsdóttir Khorchai, is a master's student in biomedical engineering at Reykjavik University.
Overall, I am happy with my studies at RU where you will find great facilities. Students are taken good care of and the social life is active. You get to know your teachers well and it's easy to contact them if you need to. My first year, while studying BS in Health Engineering was the toughest, but then it gradually got bettter. When I started my master's program I had gained a good foundation and a better understanding, which made studying to some degree, easier. The most fun part of the program is all the people you get to know.
Ragnhildur has always had an interest in science and the human body but did not want to pursue medicine. She chose a natural science program in high school to have easy access to studies related to her field of interest. After his first year of high school, Ragnhildur went on an exchange to Argentina and began to wonder where his mind was headed after graduating from high school. After looking at all sorts of companies, including Össur, the idea for health engineering began to nap with her and she liked the arrangements at RU. After high school, Ragnhildur went to study at a sports university in Denmark, and after her stay she was convinced to start her studies in health engineering at RU.
I would recommend attending events to get to know people and expand your horizons. Organizing your studies is important and keeping consistency throughout the semester. I would also recommend joining a study group, it both makes studying easier and makes it much more fun to study with good people.
After graduation, Ragnhildur aims to apply for jobs in the field. The programme prepares future engineers for progressive jobs in developing new tools and methods for diagnosing and treating diseases and applying engineering methods in biology and medicine. Graduates from the programme enter their field with the knowledge and expertise needed to excel in various specialities, including prosthetics, artificial organs, biometrics systems, medical devices manufacture, clinical engineering, rehabilitation, sport science and tissue engineering.
