I have some info about Biomedical Engineering, as a son of my friend is interested in BME this year.

He studied in UK for GCE AL, he preferred mechanical engg initally, his father and I recommended him to take an up and coming stream. He got offers from HKU, CUHK & HKPU in BME (HKU called it Medical Engg.), he took HKU as back-up. Finally, he got the offer from Imperial College and he made it finally.

BME is the program which accepted the highest grades students among all engineering disciplines. Also, BME more multi-disciplines (Engineering, clincial, regulation...), also they need to study Bio & Chem on top of general engineering modules. In CU, students need to take more credits than other engineering discipline due to wider spectrum of subjects. For the new 4-yrs program, I suggest your friend to double check the total no. of credits.

In HK BME, CUHK & HKU are marginally better than HKPU, as they have medical schools and teaching hospitals as backup, their students will have 2 weeks attachment in the summer between yr1-2, relatively more practice in the hospital for some subjects......... But HKPU's program more suitable to industry and more well established (CUHK's BME is a brade new program and just upto yr 2), other two's graduates not so down to the earth as HKPU and more for postgraduate programs......

In USA, I heard about John Hopkins and Minnesota are also very good in BME.

Career opportunities:

1. HK Dept of Health is drafting the new Medical Device Bill, may pass to LegCo in two years time. They will expand the Medical Device Control Office..... more regulators

2. In business side, along the supply chain needs engineers for R&D, manufacturing, marketing, regulatory affairs, quality, distribution, repair and maintenance....

3. Research and academic routes....

4. HKIE has the BME discipline and EMSD, HA and HKPC also provide scheme-A training for engineering graduates.

I wish it can help your friend and his/er daughter..... [ 本帖最後由 ANChan59 於 11-11-16 00:40 編輯 ]

多謝指教。BK果然卧虎藏龍，真是獲益良多。

朋友的女兒本是傳統學校學生，除了中文，其他成績出色，特別是理科和數學。世姪女的中文一般，如在NSS考大學，恐怕吃虧。加上家庭有能力供她日後到外國升學，今年轉到IS讀YR10，她在傳統中學本來是YR8，跳了兩級不但不吃力﹐而且成績更突出。小女孩應可能是資優生，但無正式考証。

她想日後做獸醫或從事科研，志向很大，現在的女孩子真是不可看輕。

The following are the guaranteed entry scores for international students completing the International Baccalaureate in 2011 and applying to enter the University of Melbourne in 2012*.

Agriculture 25
Arts 31
Biomedicine 36
Commerce 34
Environmental Horticulture (Associate Degree) 24
Environments 31
Oral Health 25#
Science 31

Surprise to know that the admission grade is so low for the top university in Australia #37 in Times Higher Education 2011-2012. Not bad for back up choice. [ 本帖最後由 kym 於 11-11-19 15:45 編輯 ]

kym

The scores you mentioned are based on 42 or 45. If based on 45, it's not so demanding as HK & UK.
