Department of Bioengineering

Introduction

The Department of Bioengineering offers research-based graduate programmes at Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) levels. Our aim is to impart to our graduates:

  • A core knowledge and understanding of engineering principles and concepts, and their integration and application to biology and medicine;
  • Basic analytical skills and a multidisciplinary approach to solving bioengineering problems;
  • The ability to perform research projects independently;
  • Critical thinking in fundamental biomedical science and technology.

The goal of our postgraduate curriculum through the M.Eng. and Ph.D. programmes is to nurture researchers/scientists with the following characteristics:

  • The ability to solve bioengineering problems encountered in academia and in industry;
  • A creative and curious mind for biomedical science and technology;
  • An enthusiasm and desire to make an impact on academia and industry
