The School of Materials Science and Engineering and the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering provide an integrated five-year double degree program, equipping students with foundational undergraduate skills in materials science and engineering alongside advanced postgraduate training in biomedical engineering. Graduates earn both a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Materials Science and Engineering and a Master of Biomedical Engineering. The program emphasizes the study of materials' structure, properties, synthesis, and applications—including metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, nanomaterials, and bio-inspired types—while applying these concepts to innovate in healthcare, such as developing medical devices and technologies.Through this curriculum, students acquire theoretical and practical expertise to lead innovations in areas like life-sustaining systems, orthopaedic devices, artificial organs, robotic surgery, health technologies, and drug delivery systems. Upon completion, they gain a versatile skill set for careers in research laboratories, biomedical firms, pharmaceutical companies, healthcare organizations, government agencies, or academia.
