Master of Molecular Biomedical Engineering (BioE)

The Molecular Biomedical engineering programme at NM-AIST will offer unique opportunity for graduates to become not only top-notch scientists or academicians/researchers, but also business managers and techno-preneurs, due to stylishly structured curricula, combining both, biological and engineering knowledge on one side, and business and humanities concepts, on the other. It is anticipated that graduates of this programme will be well prepared for leadership careers in academia and industry. Graduates from this programme can also be employed in Biomedical research Institutions like NIMR and specialized referral hospitals.

The programme will be jointly offered for three years, in which the first year will involve course work that will be conducted at NM-AIST, and the remaining two years will be entirely for research, which will be carried out in China as agreed under the signed agreement between NM-AIT and HUT.
