Biomedical engineering has resulted in many medical miracles such as regaining movement of limbs, extending life, and supporting the functions of the human body. If you are fascinated by such medical breakthroughs, then the Diploma in Biomedical Engineering (BME) is the course for you. It will give you an insight into both life sciences and engineering that lead to the development of practical and innovative medical equipment and procedures.

You will be equipped with a strong foundation in engineering that complements the life sciences, including areas such as electronics, biophysics, medical instrumentation, cell and molecular biology, biomechanics and implants. Learn to track research in technologies that are yielding new ways to eradicate diseases and raise the standard of healthcare. You will be able to anticipate, understand and contribute to the development of more effective medical equipment and treatments.

So, are you ready to become a competent biomedical engineer who unlocks and sustains the rapid development of Singapore’s heavily-invested life sciences industry with BME?

BME’s diverse, multidisciplinary and yet in-depth curriculum will allow you to pursue an array of undergraduate courses at local and overseas universities. BME graduates have gone on to pursue biological science, physics & applied physics, computer engineering, electrical & electronic engineering and even business degrees amongst others at Nanyang Technological University and National University of Singapore. For example, BME graduates have enrolled in the following undergraduate courses:

• Nanyang Technological University
  o Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical & Electronic Engineering)
  o Bachelor of Engineering (Bioengineering)
  o Bachelor of Engineering (Materials Engineering) with honours
  

• National University of Singapore
