Spread over 30.5 hectares of land (about the size of 60 football fields), Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) is situated next to the Yio Chu Kang MRT station.

The modern campus, with its new and state-of-the-art facilities, is modelled on a town centre concept to provide all the conveniences of a self-contained "Teaching and Learning City".

Some of the facilities found in the campus include a fully computerised library, specialist laboratories, a 300-seater Theatre for the Arts and a 1,200-seater auditorium. The staff apartment blocks are well-furnished and located within the campus premises, providing residents the convenience of proximity.

In the first year, you will be trained to have a comprehensive foundation in basic engineering principles, medical sciences, and biochemical sciences. 

Building on this foundation, in your second year of study, you will acquire more in-depth knowledge by applying basic principles learnt in the first year into applicable biomedical engineering systems and practices.

In the third year of studies, you can choose from one of the following elective programmes:

The three-year course emphasizes hands-on training, with one whole semester set aside specially for the final-year project module in the third year. Moreover, to prepare you for the real world, the industrial attachment programme will give you a chance to work with companies on real-life projects.

• Lectures : which is mostly done in lecture theater. You will combine with other groups of students who are also learning the same module.
• Tutorial : done in tutorial room. This will be conducted among your module group only. This is where tutorial( homeworks) answers will be discussed and this is a very good time for you to ask the lecturer questions.
• Lab : Available only for specific module. Will be conducted in the specified lab with your own module group.

With the diversified training offered, graduates will be technically competent and innovative. They will be ready to contribute in the complete value chain of biomedical product development, from design conception, evaluating physiological needs to detailed mechanical and electrical design, biomedical validation, manufacturing processes, quality system and regulatory complaince. The training programme will also be linked closely to the biomedical industry to create an optimal platform and environment for training. The practicality of the training will make our graduates highly attractive to biomedical companies and will give them a head start in pursuing further studies in Biomedical Engineering related areas. Graduates can look forward to a rewarding and challenging career in the following three career tracks.

Graduates will be trained for engineering/design assistant/ technologist positions in the biomedical industries and will be equipped with knowledge and experience in the design and development of biomedical devices and instruments. Graduates will also be equipped with a strong foundation of knowledge on biomedical process technology for the complete product development cycle.

Graduates will work as assistant engineers, process/laboratory technologists in the biomedical industry. For these roles, the graduates will tap on their knowledge of the latest biomedical products and processes and utilise their know-how of the technology and quality skills required for producing safe and better biomedical products.

Graduates will receive ample practical training in operating and maintaining specialised medical devices and instruments for employment in clinical laboratories, research institutions and centres. They will be well qualified as laboratory/research technologists in applied research and development.
