Master in Biomedical Engineering

Bio & Biomedical Engineering is a subject that’s part of the STEM field and a subdiscipline of Engineering & Technology which aims to improve human health and health care systems through innovative use of technology. Biomedical Engineering combines Engineering with Biology to answer our modern medical needs, developing revolutionary creations such as artificial organs, surgical robots, prosthetics, new drugs, and more.

Bio & Biomedical Engineering degrees are interdisciplinary degrees that involve the same mathematical, analytical, and conceptual knowledge from related fields, such as Biology, Chemical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, Materials Science, and even Computer Science. Some of the subdisciplines covered by Bio & Biomedical Engineering are orthopaedic implants, medical imaging, stem cell engineering, biomedical signal processing, and others.

Biomedical Engineering students will develop a strong understanding of both biological processes and engineering, allowing them to bring new improvements in the Medicine field. They will learn how to develop, maintain, and improve new machines and medical tools, which are used in hospitals, clinics, and medical research centres. The life of many people will depend on the proper functioning of these devices. It’s crucial that they are reliable and stable, both from a hardware and software point of view.

Bioengineering students will focus more on biological and chemical principles, research, and laboratory work. You will learn everything there is to know about the exciting field of stem cells engineering. This, together with cloning, has the potential to save millions of human lives and increase our lifespan significantly. Some are already arguing that if you are alive in 30-50 years, you might live to be 1,000 thanks to advances in Bio and Biomedical Engineering.

You can find exciting work in the following occupations: clinical engineer/scientist, medical device developer, biomechanics engineer, bioengineering researcher.
