Master’s programmes


Education is the greatest gift we can give to the next generation, which is why Euro-BioImaging is collaborating with several dedicated Master’s degree programs in biological or biomedical imaging. The collaboration includes supporting student mobility between and from these MSc programmes.

In addition, to provide practical training to these young imaging scientists, the  Euro-BioImaging Industry Board (EBIB) initiated a pilot Internship program for master’s students in 2021.

    MSc IN BIOMEDICAL IMAGING, Turku, Finland 120 ECTS, 2 years

    The MSc Programme in Biomedical Imaging aims to train professionals to have a thorough understanding and practical skills in a wide range of imaging technologies, methods and applications. The two-year programme is jointly administered and run by the two universities in Turku, the University of Turku (part of biomedical sciences programme) and the Åbo Akademi University. The programme has been assembled on the true imaging strongholds of Turku and comprises a truly interdisciplinary array of prominent research groups and departments to share advanced imaging techniques in basic cell and molecular biology, disease characterization at the molecular level and in patient diagnostics.

    Student's skill sets

    Cellular and biomedical imaging

    Internship opportunities

    Internships can be done part-time along with studies or as a summer project between semesters.
