Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering

The MSc in Biomedical Engineering at NUS aims to develop engineers with a well-rounded understanding of healthcare technology development and of healthcare itself. Rising demand for healthcare innovation and the long-term importance of health issues in an ageing society give biomedical engineers important roles, and the page notes that during a pandemic they contribute to every stage from detecting and diagnosing the disease to treating, preventing, monitoring and watching for it. Biomedical engineering combines engineering principles with the biomedical sciences to create new knowledge and technologies that improve healthcare. The department develops medical technology and biotechnology through leading research, and the programme uses that work to equip engineers to analyse and tackle healthcare challenges from both engineering and biomedical viewpoints. Separate sections of the site cover admission, curriculum and fees, and a dual master's route with TSU is listed as the NUS BME TSU Master Plus programme.
