Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering
The Master Degree Programs’ duration is 1 year, 1.5 or 2 years after Bachelor degree Program in KNURE. The duration of master programs depends on student’s choice
Biomedical engineering (BME) is a branch of Electronic Engineering, which deals with various aspects concerning the application of electronics and computing to biomedical instrumentation and health-care systems. Such medical systems require the combination of analogue and digital electronic hardware, software engineering and signal processing algorithms in order to function. The challenge for engineers specializing in biomedical electronics is to apply their knowledge and skills towards the continuous development of medical diagnostic and monitoring systems, which will enable health-care professionals to deliver the best medical care to their patients.
