Biomedical engineering is recognised worldwide as one of the fastest growing areas of innovation. It covers a wide spectrum of applications, such as devices used by health professionals for diagnostic, therapeutic and rehabilitative purposes; implants designed to monitor and maintain patients' health; prostheses, orthoses and assistive devices to facilitate the daily activities of people with special needs; and healthcare products and exercise equipment to promote general health.

This developing global field requires professionals who understand both the health issues that motivate the development of these technologies and the engineering solutions that they offer. It needs individuals with a solid foundation in both health sciences and engineering technologies.

Our BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Engineering curriculum prepares students to take on challenging careers in this field. They have opportunities to take courses in both life sciences and engineering and to integrate these concepts into interdisciplinary applications that improve human health.

In addition to building foundational knowledge through on-campus classes, students engage in practical learning through an industrial internship/clinical attachment (a 280-hour industrial internship for BME stream or BME with SST* students and a 560-hour clinical attachment for BME with P&O stream students). These internships/attachments offer good opportunities for students to put what they have learned into practice and to accumulate work experience. The internships/attachments occur in industry settings and hospitals, and some of our students participate in overseas placements (e.g. in Canada, China, the Czech Republic, Japan, Singapore, the UK and the USA).
