The BS in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Virginia merges cutting-edge engineering with a deep understanding of biology and medicine. Students study biomechanics, biomaterials, medical imaging, systems physiology, and device design while gaining hands-on experience in labs and research centers. With a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary problem-solving, the program prepares students to contribute to innovations in diagnostics, treatment technologies, and regenerative medicine. UVA’s location near leading health systems and research facilities provides excellent clinical collaboration opportunities. Graduates are ready for careers in the medical device industry, healthcare R&D, or graduate and professional programs in engineering and medicine.
