Bachelor in Department of Biomedical Engineering

Tuition is 3,103 USD per year.

Biomedical engineering applies engineering principles to problems in medicine and biology, covering topics such as medical devices, biomaterials, biomechanics, and the instrumentation used in diagnosis and treatment. Undergraduate study in the field typically begins with foundational coursework in mathematics, physics, and biology, before progressing to more specialized topics such as medical imaging, biomechanics, biomaterials, and the design of medical devices and systems. Programs at this level generally combine engineering theory with laboratory work and hands-on design projects. Graduates of undergraduate biomedical engineering programs pursue careers as biomedical engineers, medical device developers, and technical specialists working for medical device companies, hospitals, and research institutions, or continue into graduate study for more specialized technical or clinical research roles. The field sits at the intersection of engineering and medicine, and graduates are typically prepared to work on the design, testing, and improvement of technologies used in health care and biological research. This undergraduate program is offered by the Department of Biomedical Engineering at National Cheng Kung University, located in southern Taiwan, with instruction conducted in English, allowing international students to study biomedical engineering within a Taiwanese university known for its engineering and medical programs. As part of a department dedicated specifically to this field, students join a community focused on the engineering side of medical technology from the undergraduate level onward. Applicants are generally expected to have completed secondary education with a strong foundation in mathematics and science, and should be prepared for progressively technical coursework spanning engineering fundamentals and biomedical applications. For students interested in a career developing medical technology, this program offers an undergraduate route into the field in Taiwan.
