BEng in Bioengineering

Bioengineering is the bridge between basic life sciences and engineering. It covers a broad spectrum of disciplines and creates interfaces among them as emerging areas of technological development. Bioengineers are trained on solid foundations of basic and applied sciences, and the analytical, quantitative, and design skill-set required of engineers. Most importantly, bioengineers are called upon to leverage their knowledge and skills to solve real-world problems, many of which are among the grand challenges of the 21st century.
HKUST’s bioengineering program aims to educate the next generation of bioengineers. Drawing upon the university’s strength in science and engineering, this program is designed to prepare our students for career opportunities in local and regional industries in pharmaceuticals and biomedical devices, biosensors, healthcare analytics, biotechnology and healthcare products, and to stimulate their innovative minds to tackle challenging bioengineering research initiatives in a very competitive global environment.
