Introduction
Biomedical Engineering uses engineering principles, techniques and design concepts for healthcare purposes. There is an increasing demand for education and development in the field to improve healthcare and quality of life. The demand has driven the need for developing professionals who will advance the evolution of the modern healthcare system, treatment and technology. The Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering (MSBME) Programme offers education and training opportunities for engineers to pursue higher-level study in the biomedical field to promote engineering to future healthcare applications.
