Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSc in Eng)
In Biomedical Engineering, you can improve the quality of life in humans and animals, advancing knowledge, and addressing challenges in health and wellness. Working at the intersection of medicine, engineering, science and other disciplines, Biomedical Engineering is much more than applying engineering methods to living organisms.
The Biomedical Engineering program will prepare the next generation of leaders in health technologies with our multidisciplinary training programs that involve multiple faculties, working in multidisciplinary teams at more than 40 unique, state-of-the-art facilities across campus. Engineering solutions for health is one of the research priorities at the University of Calgary, with interdisciplinary research involving more than 300 faculty from the engineering school and non-traditional biomedical fields like nursing, veterinary medicine and kinesiology.
Gain real-world work experience while you learn with short- and long-term work placements available throughout your undergraduate degree. Opportunities are available through the Engineering Career Practicum, Engineering Internship Program and Industry Mentorship Program.
Prepare for careers in the growing med-tech, health-tech and bio-tech fields. Biomedical engineers work in diverse industries including medical devices, biomedical imaging, diagnostics, rehabilitation, prosthetics, cell and tissue engineering, biomechanics, instrumentation, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and more. Graduates of this program have progressed in career roles including product development, research and diagnostic imaging.
Examples include:
Take your learning off campus by exploring one of our 200+ international opportunities. In Biomedical Engineering, you can participate in the TU Berlin Summer Research Program in Germany. We encourage you to check out UCalgary’s selection of programs.
In Biomedical Engineering, your world is suddenly open to multiple options for exploring and developing. From conferences to research, I could fast-track my learning and skills.
