BEng (Hons) Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical engineering is identified as one of the niche engineering branches in the present-day which deals with the application of the principles and problem-solving techniques of engineering to biology and medicine. These principles are further combined with the principals of medical sciences aiming to streamline the healthcare services.

The health care expenditure is likely to witness an increase due to the rise of population growth. Furthermore, spreading awareness of medical advancements have led to an increase in the number of people seeking biomedical solutions for their health issues. Biomedical engineers' employment will eventually rise as a result of this. These facts are evident to prove that the growth rate of biomedical engineers is likely to be much faster than the average pace for all the existing occupations.

The study of biomedical engineering involves a broad array of diagnostic and therapeutic applications. This branch of engineering and sciences is a fascinating multidisciplinary area of study that entails the application of engineering techniques in order to assist medical practitioners in their healthcare practices.

The possibilities within biomedical engineering are nearly endle The BEng (Hons) Biomedical Engineering degree awarded by Liverpool John Moores University is designed to enable students to develop, integrate and apply engineering knowledge in the Healthcare industry. Therefore, the curriculum has been developed for the current healthcare sector requirements in the field of Biomedical Engineering.

The biomedical industry in Sri Lanka is gradually developing, creating a growing demand for skilled professionals. While research-driven roles are still limited, opportunities are emerging in private hospital laboratories, diagnostic centres, and institutes. These sectors provide valuable entry points for graduates to gain hands-on experience and build their careers.

In recent years, private research laboratories and healthcare innovations have also begun to open new career pathways for biomedical graduates.
Graduates holding internationally recognised qualifications, such as those offered through ICBT in collaboration with LJMU, often enjoy a competitive advantage. Employers value the combination of technical knowledge, practical skills, and global exposure that such programmes provide, making graduates well-positioned to seize opportunities both locally and abroad.
