Overview

Biomedical Engineering (BME) is a multidisciplinary field that incorporates concepts in engineering and science to solve a vast array of problems in human health and medicine.

Due to its public health importance and multidisciplinary nature, there is a high demand for expertise in the rapidly growing field of BME. Further there is broad employability for our students upon graduation, with a vast and diverse range of careers in the medicine, health, and engineering sectors.
