A course is described in which undergraduate students of electronics can study aspects of medical instrumentation throughout a three-year period. This course includes as much electronics as a normal B.Sc programme in Electronics but contains a background theme of medical engineering and bioengineering amounting to 20% of the total work load. The course is compared with two similar courses in Britain and also with courses abroad. Some consideration is given to the educational content of this course as well as to employment opportunities and social trends.
