About the Program

The Bachelor in Biomedical Informatics Engineering degree program at the Hijjawi Faculty for Engineering Technology, Yarmouk University, was established in 2007 with the support of the European Union / Tempus Program. The program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Bioengineering, Biomedical Engineering Program Criteria.

Developed through collaboration with European and Jordanian academic institutions, the curriculum integrates computer science, biomedical engineering, and healthcare systems to prepare students for careers at the intersection of technology and medicine. The program emphasizes interdisciplinary learning by combining knowledge from biology, medicine, data science, and software engineering.

Coursework includes medical informatics, bioinformatics, health information systems, medical data analytics, machine learning, signal and image processing, and electronic health records. Students complete a two-term graduation project and a mandatory four-month full-time field training (six credit hours) in hospitals, research labs, or health tech companies.

Graduates are well-prepared for roles in digital health, biomedical data analysis, healthcare IT, and research, as well as for pursuing advanced degrees in related fields.
