What is the Difference Between Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering?

Hey everyone!

Today we are answering one of our most asked questions, which is: “What is the difference between bioengineering and biomedical engineering?”.

In theory, they both have technical differences. To start, bioengineering is the broader field which encompasses biomedical engineering. Bioengineering can refer to the use of engineering principles for ALL life sciences and medicine. In the other hand, biomedical engineering is more focused, and specializes in human health care and medicine.

Truth be told, you can really do the same kind of jobs with both degrees. In fact, universities tend to use the terms interchangeably and usually offer one of the two degrees.

Hope this video helps clear out some of your doubts and helps you make a decision on which major to pick!
