| What it is | This program combines software engineering with biomedical systems, so you study both the programming and hardware tools used in medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and health technology. Unlike a standalone software or biomedical engineering program, this integrated approach means you work across both disciplines simultaneously rather than choosing one path. The co-op option lets you gain work experience in healthcare tech or medical device companies during your degree. It suits people drawn to both computing and biology who want to build tools that directly help medicine and patients. | You study civil engineering and biomedical engineering together in one program, combining skills in building and infrastructure design with the biology and chemistry needed to develop medical devices and treatments. Unlike separate engineering degrees, this integrated approach lets you apply engineering problem-solving to health-related challenges. It suits students interested in how engineering and biology intersect, who want flexibility to pursue either path or blend them. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
