Bioengineering Nanyang Technological University

Overview

The Bioengineering curriculum blends modern biological principles with advanced engineering methods in electronics, materials, mechanics, biocomputing and informatics to train high standard engineers for biomedical and biotechnology industries as well as healthcare and clinical services. The first three years of the programme at Nanyang Technological University covers the core bioengineering subjects to help students to develop a strong foundation in the fundamental principles, build sound practical expertise and engineering judgement. The programme is also integrated with a compulsory semester-long internship to provide students with the opportunity to gain hands-on experiences in applying their engineering knowledge, develop good communication and interpersonal skills, work ethics, and professionalism. In the final year, students are to read Biomedical Project Design & Management, Medical Device Design and Final Year Project, which will better prepare students for the rigorous demands of today’s bioengineering industry.
