IPBME is open exclusively to international, non-Taiwanese, students. Our program integrates teaching from across the College of Biomedical Engineering and places special emphasis on international research projects and collaboration. Our aim is to provide international students with the knowledge, skills and expertise in biomedical engineering to serve their future careers and development in their home countries, Taiwan, or elsewhere. Outstanding IPBME students, especially those with a Masters’ degree from our College, can graduate in three to four years and have the opportunity to pursue dual PhD degrees with our sister universities.

IPBME courses span the three core areas of Biomedical Engineering: (1) Biomaterials, Tissue Engineering & Regenerative medicine; (2) Medical Devices, Sensors & Instrumentation; and (3) Nanomedicines & Drug Delivery. In addition to courses taught by our 26 faculty members, we host bi-weekly industry forums with speakers from biotechnology companies and organize industry visits to companies across Taiwan.

These 8 courses are required:

Suggested Electives:

• A minimum of 30 credits, including 26 credits of required course. Most of the course requirement can be completed in 2 years.
• Thesis defense

As the world population ages and becomes wealthier, the number of people suffering from chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and neurodegenerative diseases continues to increase. As the pace of treatment advances quickens, we anticipate a rising demand for biomedical technologies such as joint replacements, prosthetics, human-machine integrations, cell therapies, nanomedicines, drug delivery systems, and precision/personalized medicine. Graduates of the IPBME program leave fully prepared to meet the ever-increasing demand for biomedical technologies, whether that is through further post-doctoral academic research, industrial research and development, consulting, creating a startup biotech company, or perhaps working in the clinical environment.
