Biomedical engineering

Türkiye is a popular destination for foreign students who want to pursue their studies at its prestigious universities. The reasons that attract students to Turkey as a destination for education vary according to the interests of each student, including the lack of availability of some specializations in their countries that you find in Turkey, such as medical equipment engineering.



What is biomedical engineering design?

One of the modern specializations that emerged as a result of the development of the field of human medicine, and it is considered a branch of engineering in general. It is interested in studying humans from an engineering point of view, with the aim of manufacturing medical devices or designing prosthetic organs and limbs that fit patients’ sizes. It combines the sciences of engineering, biomedicine, and various other sciences such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry... Historically, we do not have information about the beginnings of biomedical engineering, because humans in ancient times used to invent wooden teeth and crutches for fractures, and these are the same fields that bioengineering is interested in. .

Acceptance rate in Türkiye to study biomedical engineering

The GPAs required to study biomedical engineering in private Turkish universities vary. Some universities require 60%, while others only require the presence of the required certificate, even if it is 50%.


The language of study of biomedical engineering in Türkiye is the official language used by universities and institutes to teach this specialty.

Many private universities in Türkiye teach this major entirely in English, while some other universities offer it in Turkish. It should be mentioned here that private universities in Turkey do not require language certificates from students, and provide preparatory courses for learning the language before starting studies in the program.

If the student does not have a certificate for the language in which he will study or is not fluent in this language, he will have to study a preparatory year to learn it before starting the study program.


Number of years of education in the field of biomedical engineering in Turkish universities

Students in the Biomedical Engineering program must study for a minimum of 4 years to obtain a bachelor’s degree, divided into two semesters. It takes two years to obtain a master's degree, while obtaining a doctoral degree takes 4 years or more.

Study in Türkiye

Frequently asked questions about biomedical engineering.

Does biomedical engineering have a bright future?

Studies conducted by some specialized institutions confirm that there is an urgent need for biosimilars to human organs and limbs. This confirms the new reality that awaits graduates in the field of medical equipment engineering.

What is the difference between bioengineering and biomedical engineering?
Biomedical engineering is part of the field of bioengineering, which is based on scientific theories in various natural fields, while biomedical engineering focuses only on applications and implementation in healthcare.
Is biomedical engineering difficult?

Many students think that this major is difficult, because it combines three diverse fields: medicine, engineering, and biology. But this is a wrong belief, because there is no easy major and a difficult major. In the end, it depends on the student’s effort in studying it.



How can I apply to study biomedical engineering in Türkiye?

Studying in Turkey and the conditions for university admission there are considered an easy and simple process, and do not require many complicated procedures as is the case in other countries.
