MESSAGE FROM HOD

Welcome to the exciting field of Biomedical Engineering which is broadly defined as the application of Engineering in the field of medicine and surgery. It has planted its feet concretely and helped the medical healthcare system made advancements since the 1900s. Biomedical engineering has brought together the knowledge of diverse fields with a focus of applications in medical sciences. It abetted the healthcare professionals from looking inside the patient’s body to rehabilitate the paralyzed ones.

The Department of Biomedical Engineering is among the pioneers for introducing BSc Biomedical Engineering program in 1998. Since then, the department of Biomedical engineering has produced qualified graduates who are not only working in the country’s leading organizations but also earned name for the country by contributing in the relevant fields exceptionally well in foreign countries. The department also offers MS and PhD Biomedical Engineering programs. Currently there are many graduate students who are working with the BME research groups.

The future of Biomedical Engineering is very bright. The exponential increase in population will need more hospitals and enhancement of existing healthcare facilities. Consequently, we will need Biomedical Engineers to work in hospitals to manage and maintain Biomedical equipment. Many more Biomedical professionals would be in demand to design and develop smart instruments. Companies would be requiring engineers to introduce their instruments to the end-users in order to compete with other manufacturers. Universities would need to recruit experts to offer Biomedical engineering programs and meet the market demand by producing more Biomedical engineers. Biomedical engineering is the field to choose not only to secure your future but to serve mankind by contributing in providing the best possible healthcare facilities.

At Riphah, we ensure that our graduates receive all the required knowledge and skills which could assist them to face future challenges with zeal and confidence.
