Program Overview

Introduction to the Interdisciplinary Dual Degree Programme in Biomedical Engineering

The Interdisciplinary Dual Degree programme in Biomedical Engineering aims to produce graduates with an up-to-date and fundamental understanding of biomedical engineering by integrating various engineering disciplines with biomedical sciences. This programme aims to produce graduates ready to hit the ground running in industry, foster new knowledge, and evolve leadership in biomedical engineering research and entrepreneurship. Students of this program are expected to have a fundamental understanding of the concepts of Biomedical engineering and applications, understand human physiology and acquire modelling skills for engineering human biology, get hands-on experience with experimental techniques in Biomedical Engineering through laboratory sessions, experience design of biomedical devices and perform data analytics, utilize research opportunities in advanced topics of Biomedical Engineering in healthcare industries/Institute research labs, and be able to provide solutions for medical diagnostic and therapeutic challenges through close collaboration with medical schools/hospitals. The programme is offered by faculty from the Biomedical Engineering Group, Department of Applied Mechanics, Biotechnology, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Metallurgical Engineering, Physics, and Mathematics. The truly interdisciplinary nature of Biomedical Engineering is reflected in the joint programme collectively offered by various allied Departments. The total number of seats is fixed at 25, and the Institute's rules will govern the allocation of dual degree specialization and award of the degree. A
