Post-MSc designer programme Healthcare Systems Design (under formation)
High-tech industry needs experienced designers able to design complex new products and processes. A Master degree may well give you the requisite theoretical knowledge but you still lack sufficient practical experience. A designer programme gives you that practical experience, which boosts your market value for industry. You graduate with a Professional Doctorate in Engineering (PDEng) degree.'
In the Healthcare Systems Design programme the trainees acquire a thorough knowledge of the techniques and processes for prototype design and acquire structural know-how of the healthcare and well-being field and related technologies. This is combined with a strong personal and professional development course and training of entrepreneurial and networking skills. Half of the programme consists of an in-company design assignment, which can be done either part-time over two years or full-time in the second year.
During the programme the trainees build up competences in the areas of prototype design flow, Quality and Reliability, cost awareness, applied physiology, medical ethics and get an overview of medical equipment and processes in hospitals and home-healthcare. They will obtain lectures on technologies for wellbeing applications, regulatory aspects of healthcare prototype development and choose a number of technical and medical electives. A summer school and regular visits to clinics, care-providers and companies will lead to a strong network for the trainees and will prepare them for their future career.
