These specialists are able to research, design and develop biomedical materials and their sustainable production technologies, establish quality control standards for materials and technological equipment.
Biomedical materials are various organic and inorganic substances designed for manufacturing various medical devices (instruments) or their components. These materials can be synthesized or derived from natural resources and are processed to ensure their suitability for use in complex biological systems.
Two-field first cycle degree program Biomedical Materials Industries is intended to acquire the integrated competencies in natural resource technologies and chemical sciences necessary for the research, design and development of biomedical materials and their sustainable production technologies, with a critical approach to their applicability and impact towards the society and the environment.
This unique study program is designed for those interested in the science of biomaterials, chemistry, biology, biomedicine, and advanced technologies.

The program content encompasses all aspects of biomedical materials, including development, modelling and digitalization, manufacture, testing, analysis of impact towards the society and the environment.
The integration of two fields of study, natural resource technology and chemistry, is essential because biomedical materials can be obtain through chemical synthesis or extracted from natural resources and processed to be suitable for use in contact with biological systems. These materials primarily include metals and their alloys, ceramics, polymers, bioglass, various composite systems, and even cells. They are utilized in the production of various medical devices and their components.
During your studies, you will acquire practical skills to conduct scientific research, analyze and evaluate the synthesis and production processes of biomedical materials, utilizing natural resources. You will be able to create innovative biomedical materials, medical devices, and sustainable production technologies, that will contribute to the improvement of the health sector.
You will study in a creative space and have access to experimental, prototyping, and testing laboratories, as well as science-based information databases covering many fields, including biomedicine, chemistry, tissue engineering, biology, nanotechnology, and more. Laboratory work and scientific research will be conducted in specialized laboratories with modern equipment.
Student exchange programs will provide you with the opportunity to study or do internships abroad in various countries around the world – in companies, research centers, universities, or other institutions. During these experiences, you will not only gain valuable knowledge but also develop skills in intercultural communication, adaptability in various situations, and complex problem-solving. Additionally, this experience will foster critical thinking, and enhance creativity.
Are you creative, ambitious, and eager to contribute directly to the development of real products and services while still in your studies? If so, this study program, offering participation in a Product Development Project (PDP), might be the perfect choice for you! Along with team members, you will engage in the process of creating new products, starting from idea generation to prototype development, testing, and aiming for commercial success.
