Biomedical Engineering seeks to close the gap between engineering and medicine, combining the design and problem-solving skills of engineering with medical and biological sciences to advance health care treatment, including diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy.

Biomedical engineering applications include the development of diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices, MRIs, pharmaceutical drugs and therapeutic biologicals. Thus, Masters(MS) in Biomedical Engineering assist practitioners like doctors and physicians in their healthcare practices.

Most biomedical engineering programs are made up of core modules and electives you can choose yourself. Each university will offer their own unique curriculum, but some of the most common modules you’ll study include:

• Mathematics for engineering
• Programming
• Mechanical systems
• Human anatomy and physiology
• Biological medical science
• Medical biophysics
• Medical instrumentation
• Mechatronics

A Biomedical Engineering degree is known to have a broadly interdisciplinary course curriculum. The study of Biomedical Science involves the principles of both Engineering and Biological Sciences. Some of the subjects include:

• Mathematics and Physics of Biomedical Engineering
• Basic Mechanics for Biomedical Engineering
• Bio-fluid Mechanics
• Strength of Materials for Biomedical Engineering
• Thermodynamics for Biomedical Engineering
• Medical Aspects of Electromagnetic Theory
• Medical Molecular Biology
• Physiology for Biomedical Engineering
• Anatomy
• Instrumental Biomolecular Analysis
• Fundamental Biochemistry

MS in Biomedical Engineering programs offer various specializations, some of which are:

• Brain and Cognitive Disorders
• Cognitive neuroscience
• Molecular Self-Assembly
• Stem Cell Therapies and Engineering
• Computer Aided Diagnosis
• Multivariate Signal Processing
• Biomedical Imaging Technologies
• Biomedical Imaging for Diagnosis and Disease Treatment
• Bionic Prosthesis
• Cell and Tissue Repair, Regeneration, and Engineering

Biomedical engineers should also possess the following specific qualities:

• Analytical skills. Biomedical engineers must be able to analyze the needs of patients and customers to design appropriate solutions.
• Communication skills
• Listening skills
• Math skills
• Problem-solving skills

The requirements for a Masters in Biomedical Engineering vary across universities. Some of the basic requirements include:

Most of the universities in the USA, Canada require you to give you the GRE. Few universities from Germany require GRE scores. However, GRE is not required for admission to Australian universities.IELTS or TOEFL is compulsory for acquiring student visa and as a proof of English proficiency.
Applicants should have a B.S. degree or its equivalent in Engineering, Life Sciences or Physical Sciences.
