Qatar’s pioneering programme in Biomedical Engineering merges cutting-edge engineering principles with biomedical sciences to address global health challenges. Delivered at City University Qatar, this programme equips students with the expertise to drive innovation in medical technology, healthcare systems, and biomedical research.
The Bachelor of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering at City University Qatar mirrors the curriculum, learning outcomes, and academic standards of the UK-delivered programme. Ulster University’s BEng in Electronic Engineering is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). City University Qatar ensures complete alignment with these high-quality standards. Graduates may be eligible to apply for accreditation, membership, or further professional qualifications with relevant regulatory bodies, subject to the specific requirements of their chosen jurisdiction and career pathway.
With access to state-of-the-art labs at the Lusail City campus, benchmarked against international standards, students gain hands-on experience in advanced biomedical technologies. This programme prepares graduates for impactful careers in medical device manufacturing, healthcare management, biomedical research, and regulatory compliance, ensuring they are equipped to contribute to the evolving landscape of biomedical engineering.
