Second-cycle engineering studies lasting 3 semesters is an offer addressed to candidates who obtained a bachelor's degree in engineering  (first-degree studies). Graduates of Medical Engineering obtain the degree of Master of Engineering.

These are interdisciplinary studies, educating specialists ready to carry out scientific research in the field of medical engineering and experts prepared to provide engineering support to medical personnel in the institutions of the health care system.

Within the field of Medical Engineering, the following specialties are offered:

• Artificial Intelligence in Medical Diagnostics 
• Biomechanics  

Artificial Intelligence in the Medical Diagnostics specialty constitutes a response to the observed dynamic progress in the medical technologies area concerning the field of imaging diagnostics and digital tools supporting the analysis of a patient's health, as well as to the unprecedented increase in the possibilities of using artificial intelligence algorithms in medical diagnostics. A graduate of this specialty has knowledge and skills in the application of artificial intelligence methods in medicine. Moreover, a graduate can develop and implement IT tools dedicated to the processing and analysis of biomedical data, interpret real-time output from diagnostic apparatus, and design decision-making models in medical diagnostics.

Biomechanics specialty constitutes a response to the growing demand for innovative material and mechanical solutions in medical technologies for orthopedics, prosthetics, and rehabilitation. A graduate of this specialty knows the biomechanics of the human musculoskeletal system, which can be utilized to design prostheses and orthoses, implement reverse engineering tools, and program complex biomechanical control systems. 

The offer of these specialties responds to the specific needs of the medical industry – the use of advanced mechanics, widely used simulation methods, and the unprecedented increase in the possibility of using artificial intelligence algorithms in medical diagnostics. Graduating the Medical Engineering, graduate degree studies (second cycle) with a practical profile will enable graduates to work as partners for the medical community in the field of formulating biomedical engineering problems and solving them by modeling, designing, developing technology, and construction using computer techniques. Graduates will acquire competencies enabling them to design and manufacture personalized implants, prostheses, and medical devices cooperating with the human body.
