Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field that applies engineering principles to the study of biological systems and provides engineering solutions for medical applications. It incorporates concepts from multiple fields including electronic, software, mechanics, materials and chemical engineering. Biomedical engineering involves the development of devices and methods for acquiring and processing physiological data (e.g., ECG), and the design of advanced instrumentation for clinical applications, such as imaging systems that reveal structural details of the human body (e.g., MRI). As such, biomedical engineering plays a pivotal role in bridging engineering and medicine, and enhancing healthcare through technological innovation.
The Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering is designed to provide engineers with advanced theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the application of engineering principles to healthcare and medical technology. Graduates will develop a comprehensive understanding of biomedical instrumentation, medical imaging systems, and biosignals, and familiarity with emerging areas such as digital health and medical device innovation. The program emphasizes both technical competence and the capacity to address healthcare challenges through engineering-based problem-solving and research. Students pursuing these qualifications will gain expertise in integrating engineering concepts with medical and biological sciences, enabling them to design, maintain, and innovate biomedical systems and devices that meet clinical and regulatory standards. The inclusion of a substantial research component (20 credits) will also prepare graduates for research-oriented careers and doctoral studies.
