The two-year MPD in Biomedical Technology is taught entirely in English and comprises 120 ECTS credits. The curriculum consists of general studies, advanced studies and free choice studies. The cell technology specialization option includes compulsory studies focusing on providing a broad understanding on the structure and function of cells and tissues. Through optional studies, the students are able to expand their knowledge towards specific areas of cell technology.

The teaching methods include both theoretical courses and practical laboratory work. The education is provided in close connection with the research taking place in various research groups at the Faculty of Medicine and Life Sciences. For the Master?s Thesis every student completes an individual research project of 40 ECTS. Part of the studies may be completed in other universities, for example through the ERASMUS-exchange program.

The degree provides the student with skills that can be utilized in various positions as an academic expert, for example in research and development either in Finland or abroad. The students may also choose to continue their studies towards a doctoral degree.
