Biomedical Engineering

Overview

Key features

Traditionally, medical device companies have recruited from fields like mechanical and electronic engineering, and then provided additional training in bioengineering, but the  Biomedical Engineering degree from Dublin City University  integrates the necessary aspects of biology and medicine with the technical engineering aspects required to engineer medical devices.

The range and sophistication of medical devices needed to apply treatment and fight disease is growing in response to rapidly evolving disease treatments. From cameras that explore blood vessels to scanners that analyse the entire human body, biomedical engineering expertise is in greater demand than ever before.

Careers

Given the robust condition of the Irish industrial sector and taking into account DCU’s active synchronization with the medical sector, Biomedical Engineering students can feel confident about their job prospects. The increasing harmonisation of European standards and US regulations also ensures that graduates will be employable worldwide.
