Biomedical Engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering that applies fundamental engineering principles to healthcare-related problems.

Today, the design, production, operation, maintenance, and repair of mechanical and electronic devices used for diagnosis and treatment in the healthcare sector, as well as the production and development of biomaterials, constitute the main areas of practice for biomedical engineers.To meet the rapidly increasing demand, thousands of biomedical devices and systems are produced every year. The qualified technical professionals required to manage these devices and systems are educated in biomedical engineering departments. The Department of Biomedical Engineering at Istanbul Yeni Yüzyıl University was established to begin education in 2010 and graduated its first students in 2014 as a four-year undergraduate program.

In the department, the first year consists of basic science and health science courses; the second and third years include electronics, computer engineering, and fundamental biomedical courses; and in the final year, advanced biomedical specialization courses and an engineering project are offered. Students who receive high-quality education and participate in research activities are given the opportunity to apply their knowledge through internships. Through these practical experiences, students gain hands-on familiarity with diagnostic and therapeutic applications of systems such as ECG, EMG, EEG, X-ray, Ultrasound, CT, MRI, and PET, benefiting from the university’s experience in health sciences. Senior students, under the supervision of an academic advisor, conduct engineering project studies that may result in conference presentations, publications, or patents. Through these projects, students establish contact with technical professionals working in medical device companies, medical centers, hospitals, and research institutions. In this way, students gain the opportunity to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical applications.

While preparing graduates to join the workforce in industry and healthcare institutions, the program also equips them for advanced academic education. Graduates who wish to pursue advanced research, applied studies, and an academic career have the opportunity to continue their education in the Biomedical Engineering Master’s Program (with or without thesis) offered within the Institute of Graduate Studies in Science at our university.
