Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field dedicated to addressing biological and medical challenges for the benefit of humanity by applying engineering principles and techniques. The Biomedical Engineering (BME) programme is offered by the Faculty of Engineering with deep collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine. Students in the BME programme receive training at the intersection of cutting-edge engineering and medical disciplines through core courses, while also having the flexibility to select from a diverse range of electives tailored to their specific career goals. The field of BME is instrumental in creating innovative medical technologies, including MRI machines, brain-computer interfaces, cardiac pacemakers, orthopaedic implants, rehabilitative devices, medical robotics and minimally invasive endoscopes. Biomedical devices are now being designed at the micro- and nano-scale for diagnostic and therapeutic applications at the molecular and cellular levels. Students have the opportunity to engage with the extensive biomedical engineering research activities conducted at the University, thus broadening their expertise in this dynamic field. The focus areas of the programme are: (1) Medical Instrumentation and Biosensors; (2) Biomedical Imaging, Informatics and Modelling; and (3) Molecular, Cell and Tissue Engineering. Explore the Fundamentals: Start by taking introductory courses in biology, physics, chemistry and mathematics. These foundational courses will provide you with a broad understanding of the scientific concepts and principles that underlie biomedical engineering. Specialize Your Knowledge: Choose from a variety of advanced elective courses to hone your expertise in specific areas of biomedical engineering. Among the four areas, deepening your knowledge in a specialty field will prepare you for more advanced study and research. Engage in Research: Participate in laboratory research or a project. This hands-on experience will allow you to a
