When some students choose a major, they are usually confused about some interdisciplinary subjects. They don’t know what these majors are about, what kind of background can be studied, and what kind of work they will engage in in the future...
Today Xiaoxia Introducing an interdisciplinary subject - Hong Kong Polytechnic UniversityMaster of Biomedical Engineering (MSc in Biomedical Engineering, referred to as BME) major, students can study biology, electronics, IT, medicine, chemistry or other related fields Students majoring in science and engineering can consider it~
and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University is also the first university in Hong Kong to offer the biomedical engineering major!
What is BME?
Biomedical Engineering (Biomedical Engineering, referred to as BME) is an emerging edge discipline that combines science, engineering, and medicine. It is the result of the penetration and interaction of multiple engineering disciplines into biology and medicine. Rapidly develop new concepts and knowledge in these fields from multiple levels such as molecules, cells, tissues, organs, systems, and human bodies, and develop innovative medical equipment, biological agents, and biomaterials for preventing, diagnosing, treating diseases, and promoting health. Biological processes, implantable devices, etc. The
course mainly studies changes in human body systems through the theories and foundations of biology, engineering and medicine. The most important thing is to use some medical technologies to control and solve diseases. The main purpose is to solve all the problems in medicine and protect people's health.
The Hong Kong Polytechnic BME master's program keeps pace with the times. With the development of society and the advancement of technology, three directions have been derived for students to choose from:
The BME of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University has the following three directions:
● Biomedical Engineering Biomedical Engineering
● Rehabilitation Engineering Rehabilitation Engineering
● Digital Health Digital Health
Do you think this is really a forward-looking, innovative and versatile subject?
BME Focus Areas
What fields does BME cover? Let’s take a look~
-Biomedical Electronics
-Bioinstrumentaion
-BiomaterialsBiomaterials
-Biomechanics Biomechanics
-Biomechatronics
- Bionics Bionics
-Cellular, Tissue, and Genetic Engineering
- Clinical Engineering
-Medical ImagingMedical Imaging
-Orthopedic Bioengineering
-Rehabilitation Engineering
-Bionanotechnology
-Neural Engineering
All-inclusive and intersecting with many disciplines, this is the biggest feature of BME~
What can you do after graduation? Work
First, medical composite materials can be developed . For example, it is used for the repair and replacement of human tissues and the manufacture of artificial organs, or medical devices for rehabilitation treatment. It seems that in the future, more and more patients will not have to wait for a suitable organ donation of their own, but can use biological materials to help them restore their health. In addition, for modern people, many plastic surgery techniques also require the help of BME.
Secondly, it can be used to optimize digital signal processing , such as medical imaging and biosensing. Using bioengineering technology can enable us to have a clearer understanding of the characteristics and essence of signals, obtain the signal forms we need, improve the utilization of information, and obtain information at a broader and deeper level.

Course Advantages
Learning Mode
There are three branches of biomedical engineering at Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Each branch requires the completion of compulsory courses, major courses and other subjects. Students are encouraged to choose research papers on topics of professional or personal interest.
You can directly apply for a PhD.
The Department of Biomedical Engineering of the Hong Kong Polytechnic Institute has a number of doctoral students with full scholarships every year, providing BME MSc graduates with excellent academic performance and research paper performance to advance to the doctoral degree in this department, which will give them more advantages.
Scholarship
For those studying abroad, in addition to living expenses, the largest part of the cost is the tuition fee for studying abroad. clang clang clang! Then Xiaoxia will introduce to the students Hong Kong Polytechnic University’s Master of Biomedical Engineering scholarship program . allows everyone to save costs and maximize the value of studying abroad in the process of studying abroad~
Hong Kong Polytechnic University’s BME major is encourages everyone to study in Hong Kong for postgraduate studies. has set up three major scholarship programs:
. Admission Scholarship
Admission Scholarship
will be awarded to full-time students who have excellent admission scores and are successfully admitted. Therefore, the transcript submitted by when applying is also an important criterion for judging admission scores. Therefore, it is very important to have a good grade point for the undergraduate program.
. Outstanding Student Scholarship
Outstanding Student Scholarship
has a wide coverage and is awarded at different levels according to the students’ academic performance after admission. It supports and encourages students who have achieved excellent academic results.
. Outstanding Thesis Scholarship
Outstanding Thesis Scholarship
This award will be awarded to students who take the research thesis course and achieve high scores!
After reading Xiaoxia’s introduction, what do you think of this interdisciplinary subject? Xiaoxia thinks it’s very good! The scholarship is also very exciting!!
