Education and teaching

We ensure teaching, administration, development, and quality assurance of health scientific bachelor’s, master’s, and continuing education programs at high level. The high level is maintained by ensuring coherence and facilitating interaction between our highly specialized research environments, committed teachers, healthy study environments and our service-oriented study administration. The oldest education program at our department is the MSc in Biomedical Engineering, which was launched in 2000. Together with the other engineering programs at Aalborg University, the education has been elected “the best European engineering educations” and “fourth best in the world” by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

At the Department of Clinical Medicine and Department of Health Science and Technology teaching is conducted according to the inter-disciplinary and problem-oriented Aalborg Model of "Problem Based Learning" (PBL) where students work in project teams and often in collaboration with industry or the public sector. 

SUND students play an active and important part in our research and clinical environments. We meet our students with an extensive study start up program, a strong study environment, and teaching of high pedagogic and research-based quality. This ensures a strong learning outcome no matter whether the studies are based on cases, project work, lectures, workshops, or other study activities. Therefore, continuous evaluation and development of our education portfolio always have our highest priority. The essence of the department’s education portfolio is to educate candidates for the labor market of tomorrow.  Accordingly, we have a strong focus on transforming the graduates from being students and into being labor market ready.
