On the occasion of the conclusion of successful studies, Ph.D. Associate Professor Valentin AMARIEI, TUM vice rector, Ph.D. Associate Professor Ion BALMUŞ, dean of FCIM, University Professor, Doctor Habilitatus Victor VOVC, University Professor, Doctor Habilitatus Viorel NACU, chairman of the examination of master’s theses, Gheorghe GORCEAG, deputy head of department of medicines and medical devices from Ministry of Health, held speeches of congratulation addressed to recent graduates, reminding them that the institutions of the healthcare system from Republic of Moldova is waiting them with open arms to apply the full knowledge gained during master studies.

At the awarding ceremony of master’s certificates, University Professor Victor ŞONTEA, Head of the Department of Microelectronics and Biomedical Engineering, wanted to mention that the current promotion is the result of the partnership between TUM, USMF „N. Testemiţanu” and the ministry, who is called to prepare specialists in biomedical engineering - main link in medicine merger with technological advances and to provide high quality services for healthcare act.

We are pleased, added dr. V. ŞONTEA, that for the first time an entirely group of master's students from TUM, have studied and conducted researches according to a master's program, developed and validated in an international project. The relevance of the topics researched and the high level of investigations carried denotes the fact, that most of the theses were rated with the highest ratings and some of them may constitute sections of a PhD thesis.
