Bachelor of Biomedical Engineering with Honours is offered as a full-time programme, responding to the increasing demand for professionals capable of integrating biomedical science with engineering principles. Graduates who can interpret medical challenges through the lens of engineering sciences are uniquely positioned to develop solutions relevant to both medical practitioners and engineers.
Biomedical engineering, as an emerging and interdisciplinary field, has significantly advanced modern medicine and healthcare. Its contributions include the design and manufacture of artificial human organs and prosthetics, development of communication and assistive devices for individuals with disabilities, creation of novel diagnostic and therapeutic tools, and innovation of medical procedures. Technological progress has been so substantial that a wide range of medical devices is now available for home-based patient care.
The programme combines a balanced curriculum of engineering and biomedical sciences. In the first and second years, students are introduced to foundational concepts such as Introduction to Biomedical Engineering and Basic Anatomy and Physiology, alongside core engineering subjects including Engineering Mathematics and Digital Electronics. General university courses such as Academic English Skills and Islamic and Asian Civilisation are also undertaken.
In the third year, students progress to specialised modules, including Biomedical Instrumentation and Measurement, Clinical Engineering, and Biomedical Materials. The final year emphasises advanced integration of knowledge through courses such as Biomedical Systems Design, Biochemistry for Biomedical Engineers, and Biomedical Signal Processing. Students must also select three electives from areas such as Rehabilitation Engineering, Biosystems Modelling, and Medical Informatics. Additionally, the fourth year includes the Final Year Project (FYP), Professional Practice in Biomedical Engineering, and Entrepreneurship. These components are strategically designed to cultivate competent, innovative, and industry-ready biomedical engineers.
Graduates are well-prepared for careers in hospitals, biomedical product companies (including manufacturing, sales, service, and research and development), and government agencies such as the Ministry of Health, Malaysia. Potential roles include:
