In Biomedical Engineering, innovative technologies are developed for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, contributing to improved healthcare and a better understanding of the human body's functioning.
With a flexible and multidisciplinary curriculum, students are encouraged to develop integrative projects using the knowledge acquired and innovative approaches, preparing them to lead the future of the global biomedical industry.
These scholarships, worth 450 euros, are available to all students from the School or other Higher Education Institutions who are applying for the first time to the first year of a Master’s programme at NOVA FCT and have a final undergraduate grade of 15 or higher.

"I joined the Integrated Master’s in Biomedical Engineering in 2005. The second phase of the program played a crucial role in my entry into the job market, thanks to the stronger practical focus in my chosen field at the time — medical imaging — and, most importantly, the opportunity to carry out my master’s thesis in a business environment.
I strongly recommend completing the full study cycle with the Master’s in Biomedical Engineering, as it was only in those final two years that I truly understood the potential of the program and the impact it could have on the job market in the short term.
I completed my master’s in December 2010 and entered the job market through the company where I conducted my thesis. I am currently Healthcare Solutions Lead at Roche".

The Department of Physics (DF), formally established in 1986, was a pioneer in Portugal in teaching Physics Engineering. The DF's scientific activity mainly develops in two Research Units, LIBPhys and CEFITEC. Among the research and development activities are atomic, molecular, nuclear physics instrumentation and electronic and industrial automation with applications in analytical methods, radiation detection, and biomedical engineering, optics, and photonics, metrology, and spectrometries.
