Biomedical engineering is the combination and application of the principles of physics, mathematics, biology, and technology to research and manufacturing technical equipment for health care treatment, including diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy.

UB's Biomedical Engineering (BME) program lets you combine your passions for biology, medicine, and engineering in one dynamic major. If you're excited about creating 3D models for cancer care, designing wearable medical sensors, or using AI for cardiac health, this program offers the perfect blend of science, math, and innovation.

Medicine faces great challenges and as a consequence engineering, basic sciences and health sciences are experiencing unprecedented advancement. For this reason, the need arises for a career as Biomedical Engineering that combines these three areas and contributes to improving health well-being and people's quality of life.

Biomedical engineering is a multidisciplinary field that combines biology and engineering, applying engineering principles and materials to medicine and healthcare. From developing and improving new machinery, such as robotic surgery equipment, to creating better and more reliable replacement limbs, the work of biomedical engineers is helping to pave the way for new methods of treating injuries and diseases. This research-informed programme aims to develop industry-ready graduates with product design and innovative sense who are highly skilled and creative biomedical engineers, able to adapt to new challenges and deliver sustainable solutions for modern society.

The Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering is aimed at training professionals in different areas, including developing and designing new technologies and medical instrumentation and imaging, including tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. It is an interdisciplinary degree in which techniques from different areas of engineering such as electronic, mechanical, chemical, IT, telecommunications, and materials, are applied to 21st-century analysis and problem-solving in medicine and biology.

The mission of the Biomedical Engineering program is to bridge the gap between conventional engineering and life sciences so that graduates are equipped with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary for pursuing a successful professional career in the healthcare industry. The program also prepares its students for graduate studies.

Apply professional engineering knowledge to understand, modify and control biological systems in this 3-year BEng (Hons) Biomedical Engineering degree. All teaching is informed by the latest research and is delivered by experienced medical engineers and clinical scientists.  You’ll also gain professional insight from leading industry partners, and hands-on practical experience in our state-of-the-art engineering laboratories.

The Department of Biomedical Engineering at Istanbul Medipol University was established in 2014. Students who successfully complete the department’s 4-year bachelor’s degree program earn the title of Biomedical Engineer. Each year, the department accepts 20 students on full scholarships. The language of instruction is English, and a preparatory language class is mandatory. However, students who demonstrate proficiency in English may proceed directly to the main program.

The Biomedical Engineering curriculum at Stevenson University prepares students to solve important human health-related scientific problems through the application of engineering principles, ideas, methods, and inventions. The program emphasizes critical and creative thinking in addition to technical skills and knowledge and provides students with opportunities to apply these skills and knowledge to the solution of real world problems.

Modern medicine has given rise to the development of a wide range of novel engineering solutions to clinical problems. Examples of these developments vary from orthopaedic implants such as total hip replacements to cardiovascular implants such as coronary stents (small wire scaffolds inserted into the blood vessels around the heart). As a result of the increased collaboration between engineers and doctors, the new discipline of biomedical Engineering developed. Biomedical Engineering is the fastest growing area of Engineering.

The practice of biomedical engineering has a long history. One of the earliest examples is a wood and leather prosthetic toe found on a 3,000-year-old Egyptian mummy. Before that, even simple crutches and walking sticks were a form of engineered assistive devices, and the first person to fashion a splint for a broken bone could be considered to have been an early biomedical engineer. 

Business and research environments need engineers who can design complete solutions involving complex integrated systems. Biomedical Engineering at Kent educates engineers who can develop systems used in medical practice and biology research.

Engineers find a solution to a particular problem or to meet a requirement of a tangible product (machinery, equipment, system or process). An engineer designs, builds, operates, examines the product and the behavior under different operating conditions in order to improve and develop it. Problems that need solutions and other complications enable engineers to expand.

BEng Medical engineers are competent classical engineers who apply engineering principles to the development of medical treatments, applications or diagnostic technologies that can enhance and save lives. They work in fields with medical applications, such as clinical instrumentation and devices, bioengineering, and clinical engineering, as well as engineering fields outside of medicine. This accredited course provides the knowledge, skills and hands-on experience you need to become a work-ready medical engineer.

In biomedical engineering, you will learn to design and create complex medical devices and imaging technology, as well improve health care delivery systems and early detection methods. The program encourages you to master the fundamentals of engineering, physical and life sciences.
