About the Program
The Master in Biomedical Systems and Informatics Engineering degree program at the Hijjawi Faculty for Engineering Technology, Yarmouk University, was established in 2023. It is designed to graduate professionals with advanced competencies in biomedical engineering, particularly in the industrial and research sectors. The program prepares students to conduct rigorous scientific research, develop and maintain advanced biomedical technologies, and assume ethical and professional responsibilities in diverse healthcare environments.
The curriculum integrates core knowledge in biomedical systems, informatics, and applied computational methods. Students gain expertise in hospital automation, the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning for disease modeling and treatment planning, and the design and maintenance of medical devices and prosthetics. The program fosters interdisciplinary learning, drawing from fields such as medicine, pharmacy, biology, computer science, and medical physics.
To accommodate diverse career goals, the program offers two study tracks:
-
Thesis Track – Focused on academic and industrial research, ideal for students planning to pursue a Ph.D. or engage in R&D roles.
-
Non-Thesis Track – Tailored for professionals seeking advanced technical and practical expertise through additional coursework.
This program is uniquely positioned in Jordan as the only graduate offering that combines biomedical systems with biomedical informatics. Its multidisciplinary framework allows for admission from a wide range of undergraduate backgrounds, including biomedical engineering, computer engineering, electrical and electronics engineering, chemical engineering, medical physics, pharmacy, life sciences, and computer science.
Through a combination of rigorous academic training, hands-on experience, and close alignment with current healthcare technologies, the program produces graduates equipped to contribute meaningfully to academic, clinical, and industrial advancement in the biomedical field.
