• The Bachelor of Applied Science in Biomedical Engineering is a 4-year program at the University of British Columbia(UBC).
  • Students will gain a strong understanding of biology, human anatomy, and physiology, and develop the skills required to apply this knowledge in engineering design contexts and solve engineering problems.
  • This program focus on main following areas:
    • Introduction to biomedical engineering
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Circuits and Electromagnetics with Application to Biomedical Engineering
    • Biomechanics 
    • Introduction to Bioinformatics
    • Economics of Healthcare Solutions
  • As a Biomedical Engineering student, they will have classes, teaching laboratories, capstone projects, and studio sessions in various Faculty of Applied Sciences buildings on UBC's Vancouver campus.
  • The program combines interests in life sciences with engineering and therefore focuses on processes in the fields of biotechnology and biomedical engineering. 
  • The student to faculty ratio is 18:1 which resolves the interaction problem.
  • The Biomedical Engineering program also gives an excellent foundation for graduate studies or professional degrees in medicine, engineering, pharmacy, law, or business.
  • Students will be specializing in one of four streams:
    • Biomechanics and biomaterials
    • Cellular and molecular bioengineering
    • Biomedical systems and signals
    • Biomedical informatics 
  • The University of British Columbia ranked as the 45th best university in the world in the QS World University Rankings.
