Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary study in which engineering and technology are applied innovatively to solve biological and medical problems for the benefit and welfare of mankind. The Biomedical Engineering programme is a joint venture among the Engineering Departments with strong support from the Faculty of Medicine in medicine-related courses and practical training. It aims at educating the next-generation biomedical engineers with an aspiration of serving the society and advancing healthcare at the interface of engineering, science, and medicine. Students enjoy flexibility not only in learning various forefronts of engineering and medicine from core courses, but also in the variety of electives, allowing them to focus on areas critical to their careers.

Career as biomedical engineers, working alongside with physicians and therapists, is projected to rise as the healthcare field continues its rapid growth and the role of technology in diagnostic, therapeutic and research activities continues to expand.
