Master in Biomedical Engineering

The Biomedical Engineering program at Brown provides cutting–edge, interdisciplinary, graduate-level education at the interface of engineering, biology, and medicine. Research in these areas is advancing the understanding of fundamental problems in biology and medicine while developing new therapies to improve the quality of life for people with medical problems.

The program is distinguished by its strong and collaborative connections between academic science, clinical medicine, and industry. Graduate students take engineering, biology, and medical school courses, gain valuable clinical experience at nearby teaching hospitals associated with the Brown Medical School, and engage in stimulating internships at companies commercializing biomedical technologies. These opportunities, coupled with dissertation research, give graduate students both the intellectual and the practical skills required for developing today's emerging science into useful biomedical technology and therapies.
