Master of Science (Biomedical Engineering)

This programme flowchart can be used as a guideline for students to ensure that they are well informed on action items which need to be fulfilled during their active semester. This is also to avoid any late subject registration at the beginning of every semester and to assist all students with their research timeline towards graduate on time (got).

SBEHS offers a Master of Science (Biomedical Engineering) programme by taught course mode. Students are required to successfully complete a minimum of 45 credits which include at least: (a) five core courses (15 credits), (b) one compulsory university course (3 credits), (c) one university elective course (3 credits), (d) four elective course (12 credits) and (e) dissertation (12 credits).

Project dissertation has a total credit of 12 hours in which it will be divided into 4 credit hours for semester two (Dissertation 1) followed by another 8 credit hours for semester three (Dissertation 2).  Project dissertation has to be submitted at the end of the respective semesters. Course assessment will be conducted via direct (examination, tests, quizzes, assignments) and indirect (peer assessment) methods.

Generic skills will be adapted during teaching and learning process. The programme is expected to produce a practicing professional with high responsibilities in managing an organization within biomedical engineering discipline. A graduate in this master programme will have a capability to continue education through special training, professional licensure, or additional certifications; or engaged in post-graduate study towards a doctoral degree in biomedical field.
