Warmest welcomes to the Biomedical Engineering (BME) Department at IAU. The BME Department was established in 2012 and was the first department in KSA to receive female students.

Our qualified and distinguished graduates serve the labor market in public and private hospitals, international and national medical device companies, and local and international research centers. Moreover, they carry the vision, mission and objectives of the department and the university to contribute significantly to the development of the medical devices and healthcare sectors and also to play a prominent and distinctive role in the settlement and transfer of technologies and medical industries in line with the complete harmony of the medical and technical industries inhabitation initiative in vision 2030.

To keep up with the labor market and research developments' requirements in BME, the department established two master programs (Master of Science (MSc) and Master of Engineering (MEng) programs in BME) in 2021/2022. Also, the significant department’s contributions to scientific research and community service will advance and improve KSA's medical devices and healthcare sectors.

In conclusion, we pledge and promise our beloved kingdom, our leadership, and the presidency of our university and college to keep working hard to let this country reap a blessed bumper harvest of graduates who are knowledgeable, innovative, and passionate about science with leadership skills.
