Bachelor of Applied Science [B.ASc] Biomedical Engineering
- 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.
