The Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) aims to provide world-class education and to conduct research in emerging fields of engineering. To achieve these aims, the Department adopts an interdisciplinary approach and includes subject areas that ensure our graduates are equipped to meet Hong Kong's current and future needs. The Department was established in 2018, following the reorganisation of the former Department of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering. The Department currently offers a major in Biomedical Engineering. The Department’s faculty members have interdisciplinary backgrounds with academic strengths in areas including (a) biomedical imaging and bioinstrumentation; (b) cell/tissue engineering and biomechanics; (c) robotics and artificial intelligence for biomedical applications; and (d) biosensors and health informatics. Please refer to the Department's website for more information about the BME Department. Students must be: - able to apply their skills to a variety of challenges in their chosen field; - equipped with the spirit of innovation, creativity, adaptability and critical thinking to solve problems in biomedical engineering-related professions; - able to function effectively in multidisciplinary team environments and communicate with a variety of audiences; - able to demonstrate competency in their chosen fields, and make decisions that are socially and ethically responsible; and - able to build and expand upon their undergraduate foundations by engaging in learning opportunities throughout their careers. The four main subject areas are: fundamentals of general engineering and science; biology (molecules and cells, genetics and proteomics, cell transport and signalling and microbiology); biotechnology (biomechanics, measurement, bio-instrumentation, bioinformatics, tissue engineering, micro/nano technology for biomedical engineering, bio-safety and security); and medical engineering (medical imaging and signal processing, quantitative human physiology, health maintenance and wellness technology, technology for drug discovery and technology for regenerative medicine).

Applicants holding a 12-year school-leaving qualification or a partially completed sub-degree qualification may apply for admission to first-year studies in a Bachelor's degree programme. Applicants who have learned Chinese Language for less than 6 years while receiving primary and secondary education or learned Chinese Language for 6 years or more in schools but have been taught an adapted and simpler Chinese Language curriculum not normally applicable to the majority of students in local schools, can use the following qualifications to replace HKDSE Chinese Language level 3 to meet the entrance requirement for Chinese Language: • HKDSE Applied Learning Chinese “Attained” or above • GCEAL/AS Chinese grade E or above • GCSE/IGCSE Chinese grade C or above. Applicants whose entrance qualification is obtained in a language other than English will need a satisfactory score in TOEFL, an IELTS, or other acceptable English qualifications.
