Biomedical Engineering

专业介绍

Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field dedicated to addressing biological and medical challenges for the benefit of humanity by applying engineering principles and techniques. The Biomedical Engineering (BME) programme is offered by the Faculty of Engineering with deep collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine.

Students in the BME programme receive training at the intersection of cutting-edge engineering and medical disciplines through core courses, while also having the flexibility to select from a diverse range of electives tailored to their specific career goals.

The field of BME is instrumental in creating innovative medical technologies, including MRI machines, brain-computer interfaces, cardiac pacemakers, orthopaedic implants, rehabilitative devices, medical robotics and minimally invasive endoscopes. Biomedical devices are now being designed at the micro- and nano-scale for diagnostic and therapeutic applications at the molecular and cellular levels. Students have the opportunity to engage with the extensive biomedical engineering research activities conducted at the University, thus broadening their expertise in this dynamic field.

The focus areas of the programme are: (1) Medical Instrumentation and Biosensors; (2) Biomedical Imaging, Informatics and Modelling; and (3) Molecular, Cell and Tissue Engineering.
