由于人口老龄化和我们日益苛刻的生活方式，对更先进和有效的医疗设备和疗法的需求不断增长。为了应对这些挑战，对具有适当技能和能力的专业生物医学工程师的需求从未如此高过。生物医学工程课程旨在为学生提供全面的知识和对构成该领域基础的核心技术，专业和道德原则的理解。这是一门具有挑战性的课程，具有多学科性质，将使他们能够在这个不断扩展的行业中获得成功的就业。同样，它为他们提供了一个坚实的平台，可以在此领域进行进一步的MSc或PhD研究计划。除了为学生提供毕业后获得成功就业（或进一步学习的机会）所需的全部能力之外，提供
Combining engineering with medical sciences to design and create equipment, devices, computer systems and software. Biomedical Engineering combines biology and engineering, applying engineering principles and materials to medicine and healthcare. It spans a wide variety of disciplines – you could be working with artificial organs, surgical robots, advanced prosthetics or the development of new drugs. Biomedical Engineers (sometimes referred to as Bioengineers) are responsible for driving major innovations and advances in medicine they design and develop all of the equipment used by doctors and biomedical scientists. The demand for Biomedical Engineers is increasing as machinery and technology become ever more essential to developments in medicine and healthcare. The combination of engineering principles with biological knowledge to address medical needs has contributed to the development of many revolutionary and life-saving concepts. Biomedical Engineering is constantly evolving and expanding into new areas such as tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, a core research theme within the School of Engineering at Ulster University.
