Welcome to BME! The Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Virginia is experiencing an exciting growth phase, including a substantial expansion of our research and graduate training programs.

We offer the following advanced degrees in Biomedical Engineering through the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences:

  • Master of Engineering (ME)
