Engineering applied to biology and medicine, from devices to biomaterials.
Studied full-time over four years on the Saadiyat Island campus. Students complete the NYUAD Core Curriculum, a shared engineering foundation, major and elective coursework, may study away for up to two semesters across NYU's global network, and finish with a two-semester Senior Design Capstone.
A foundation shared by all NYUAD engineering majors across science, mathematics and core engineering skills.
Bioengineering applies engineering to biology and medicine across scales, from molecules and cells to prosthetics and medical devices, integrating invention, innovation and entrepreneurship.
A two-semester design capstone applying the full degree to a real problem.
Graduates work in management, production and research and development across medical devices, diagnostics, genetics, healthcare, pharmaceuticals and drug discovery, as bio-entrepreneurs commercialising NYU-grown technology, or continue to graduate school, research or medical school.
Accredited by the UAE Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA). Unlike NYUAD's other engineering majors, Bioengineering is not currently ABET-accredited.
