Bachelor of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering

About this programme

Learn how to design technologies that enhance health care and medicine. Expand your knowledge of engineering and human biology while gaining a better understanding of medicine and clinical practice. In this program, you’ll learn to analyze and solve real-world problems in medicine and biology—and create technologies that improve people’s lives. The Victoria Hand Project , founded by UVic engineers, creates accessible 3D-printed prosthetic hands for amputees. Working with partners around the world, VHP builds local 3D-printing centres, trains staff and supports community-based prosthetic care. Students play a major role in this work. Through co-op, volunteering and research, you can help design, build and deliver prosthetic technologies—gaining hands-on experience while contributing to a global social-impact project. Biomedical engineering student Adeline Theodora worked as an implementation specialist with Pani Energy, a Victoria-based company using AI to help water treatment plants reduce emissions, waste less water and operate more efficiently. Through co-op, she applied her coding and engineering skills to real-world sustainability challenges while building industry experience, communication skills and confidence as an international student.
