STUDYING BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
Biomedical Engineering is an essential part of the economy for both developed and developing countries. As lifespan and average age of citizens continue to rise, the demand for biomedical devices will continue to expand. As countries become wealthier and more patients can afford treatment, prosthetics, implants and novel therapeutics will also continue to expand. We envision the convergence of both trends will create urgent needs for engineers with solid medical exposure experiences.
As such, a PhD in Biomedical Engineering is an excellent investment for your future career potential
