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.
Biomedical engineers design and develop all the equipment used to diagnose, monitor, and treat patients. You could be working with medical devices, artificial organs, surgical robots, advanced prosthetics, or the development of new drugs and materials that drive major innovations in medicine.
I Will Learn
– An understanding of anatomy and physiology, and how they apply to the area of biomedical engineering.
– How to use mechanical and electronic principles to design assistive devices that replace or improve bodily functions.
– How to use the latest software technology in the design and development of biomedical equipment.
Hands-on Experience
– Practical lab work and tutorials include both demonstrations and experiments on medical applications of engineering principles.
Why Ulster Programme?
- Ulster University is ranked in the top 15 for Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering by the Times Good University Guide 2025.
Entry Requirements for direct entry into Year One are subject to completion of 13 years of education and are assessed on a case-by-case basis, varying depending on the programme applied for. General entry requirements include:
