The Biomedical Engineering bachelor programme is a mixed curriculum of engineering and biomedical sciences. The course contents for 1st year and 2nd year are geared towards the principles and fundamentals of biomedical engineering and sciences, such as Introduction to Biomedical Engineering and Basic Anatomy & Physiology; while also learning general engineering courses such as Engineering Mathematics and Digital Electronics. Students are also required to take general university courses such as Academic English Skill and Islamic & Asian Civilization.

In the 3rd year students will be exposed to more specialised courses such as Biomedical Instrumentation & Measurement, Clinical Engineering, and Biomedical Materials. In the final 4th year, students will be further reinforced in the field of biomedical engineering through courses like Biomedical Systems Design, Biochemistry for Biomedical Engineers and Biomedical Signal Processing. Students will also be required to take three elective courses such as Rehabilitation Engineering, Biosystems Modelling, and Medical Informatics. In addition, students in the final year are required to complete a Final Year Project (FYP), Professional Practice in Biomedical Engineering and Entrepreneurship. All these courses are designed and structured to produce a competent and reliable biomedical engineer.

Core courses: 94 credits
Electives: 12 credits
University general, and Math courses: 31 Credits

After having exposed to 3 to 5 years working experience, our graduates should become professionals who demonstrate the following competencies:
(i) Become Biomedical Engineers who are competent, innovative, and productive in addressing stakeholders’ needs.
(ii) Grow professionally with proficient soft skills.
(iii) Demonstrate high standards of ethical conduct, positive attitude, and societal responsibilities.
