What did you talk to the students about?

The idea I wanted to convey to them is that they should see, within the Medical Device, where the value is: in the design, in the certification, in the manufacturing, in the sale, in the after-sales? I have tried to identify with them where the value is, within each of the phases of a product's life.

What do you think the profile of the students of the master's degree in Biomedical Engineering at Tecnun can contribute to the business world?

Your profile is in great demand in today's market. Engineering is becoming more and more specialized and that is what companies are demanding nowadays. The health sector is always a growing sector, so it is a very very interesting master's degree.

Therefore, do you think that the professional opportunities of this master's degree are wide-ranging?

Yes, of course. In addition, in Spain there are more and more entrepreneurial companies in the sector and we are lacking this profile. The students of this master's degree already have a very specific knowledge of the health sector, and that saves us companies a very large internal training period.
