Department of Biomedical Engineering and Computational Science BECS

Teaching

BECS develops and maintains courses that are based on its areas of strength. At the moment we offer major and minor subjects in three engineering degree programmes: Bioinformation Technology, Engineering Physics and Mathematics, and Computer Science and Engineering.

Courses offered by BECS are also included in the Electonics and Electrical Engineering degree programme. In addition, BECS co-organizes (in collaboration with the Brain Research Unit of O.V. Lounasmaa Laboratory) the new master's degree programme Brain and Mind beginning in fall 2012.

Current announcements

  • The course codes beginning with S-114 in the study programme will be in use until the end of spring 2012, after which they will become obsolete and replaced by course codes beginning with Becs-114. The rest of the course code number as well as the course title will remain unchanged.
