Biomedical Engineering

Program Overview

Biomedical engineering is at the intersection of engineering, the life sciences and healthcare. Biomedical engineers take principles from applied science and apply them to biology and medicine. The goal is to better understand, replace or fix a target system to ultimately improve the quality of healthcare. Applications include the development of biocompatible prostheses, diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices, advanced imaging methods such as MRIs and EEGs, as well as development of regenerative materials, engineered tissues and artificial organs. How competitive: applicants from the EU apply through the CAO and are ranked on points. In round 1 of 2026, places went to applicants with 579 points or more. On Trinity's indicative scale for the IB, and counting the 25 points that this course's Higher Level Mathematics adds, that is about 41 points. Applicants from outside the EU apply to Trinity directly and are assessed individually.
