Bioengineering

The Doctor of Philosophy Programs in Bioengineering integrate biological, physical, and computational sciences with engineering principles to analyze and/or design biological processes. Using a systematic and quantitative approach, these programs prepare students to advance the biomedical industry, optimize bioprocesses, and develop new biomedical technologies.

The aim of this Bioengineering programme from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology is to provide students with the necessary knowledge to contribute to the biomedical industry as well as to optimize existing bioprocesses, and to develop new biomedical technologies. The Programs are managed by the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering.

A candidate for a PhD degree is expected to demonstrate mastery of knowledge in the chosen discipline and to synthesize and create new knowledge, making an original and substantial contribution to the discipline.
