The Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) aims to provide world-class education and to conduct research in emerging fields of engineering. To achieve these aims, the Department adopts an interdisciplinary approach and includes subject areas that ensure our graduates are equipped to meet Hong Kong's current and future needs. The Department was established in 2018, following the reorganisation of the former Department of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering.

The Department currently offers a major in Biomedical Engineering. The Department’s faculty members have interdisciplinary backgrounds with academic strengths in areas including (a) biomedical imaging and bioinstrumentation; (b) cell/tissue engineering and biomechanics; (c) robotics and artificial intelligence for biomedical applications; and (d) biosensors and health informatics.

Please refer to the Department's website for more information about the BME Department.

Entrance Requirements for Direct/Non-JUPAS Applicants

To be considered for admission, you must satisfy the General Entrance Requirements and have studied a science- or engineering-related discipline at a high school or post-secondary institution

OR

have completed an Associate Degree/Higher Diploma with a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of ≥3.0 or an equivalent overall mark, or a credit award in a science- or engineering-related discipline.

Preference will be given to applicants with physics and mathematics backgrounds.

HKDSE students will apply for admission to first-year studies (JS1211) through JUPAS.

Our Target

This major aims to pursue excellence in education, research and innovation through the fusion of engineering with life sciences for the advancement of human health. The objectives of the major are to provide integrative educational opportunities that allow students to learn passionately, think critically and independently and innovate creatively so that they are:

1. able to apply their skills to a variety of challenges in their chosen field; 2. equipped with the spirit of innovation, creativity, adaptability and critical thinking to solve problems in biomedical engineering-related professions; 3. able to function effectively in multidisciplinary team environments and communicate with a variety of audiences; 4. able to demonstrate competency in their chosen fields, and make decisions that are socially and ethically responsible; and 5. able to build and expand upon their undergraduate foundations by engaging in learning opportunities throughout their careers.

Start Your Career Here

As a graduate, you will find career opportunities in engineering services, public health consulting, government departments and laboratories and the commercial and educational sectors. Alternately, you can pursue postgraduate studies. This major will provide you with the expertise required to meet the needs of increasing public concern and demands on medical diagnostics and therapeutic treatments, biomedical instruments, food safety and quality, advancement in pharmaceutical and health maintenance products, as well as an awareness for human health and wellness.

The College of Engineering and the Department offer work placement opportunities through various internship schemes, which provide students with full-time job attachments not only in Hong Kong firms, but also in those of the Pearl River Delta region and overseas. Through such placements, students will:

gain solid experience in real-world work environments; develop problem-solving abilities and interpersonal skills; learn the right attitudes towards work and professionalism; and broaden their experience and enhance their employability.

For details, please visit the College's Co-operative Education Centre's website.

The Department, College and University offer a number of credit-bearing exchange programmes for students with various partner institutions around the world, including universities in Australia, Canada, Europe, the USA and the Asia-Pacific region. Through these, students can broaden their educational horizons, gain language experience and enhance their awareness of different cultures.

Please visit CityU's website and the Department's website for details of our outbound exchange programmes.

Professional Recognition

This major has been granted accreditation by the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE), a signatory member of the Washington Accord under which all members agree to recognise each other’s accredited Engineering degree programmes.

Did You Know?

Over 400 million, or 31% of China's population will be over 60 years old by 2050 (http://www.chinadaily.com.cn). In addition, air and chemical pollution, threats to bio-security, obesity and the rapid spread of infectious diseases will continue to impose enormous pressure on the provision of trained professionals in the field of biomedical engineering

The Hong Kong government has clearly identified medical and testing/certification services as among the six industries with clear advantages for further development. The Biomedical Engineering major will serve to educate future professionals in these industries.

本課程旨在為香港及⼤中華地區培育⽣物醫學⼯程專業⼈才，畢業⽣將具備跨學科專業技術及國際視野，以應付⼈ ⼝老化及疾病對⼈類健康帶來的挑戰。
