                In 1998, Faculty of Engineering, Mahidol University has established and offered the Master Degree Program in Biomedical Engineering in collaborating with Imperial College London, UK and Mahanakorn University of Technology, Thailand. In 2005, Department of Biomedical Engineering has been founded to take care undergraduate students in a newly established and offered Bachelor’s Degree Program in Biomedical Engineering as the Thailand’s first BME undergraduate program. Currently, the department has offered academic programs in all levels, Bachelor’s, Master and Ph.D. programs in Biomedical Engineering. The department has several strong collaborations in research and academics with several Medical Related Institutes in Mahidol University, such as, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Faculty of Medicine Ramadhibodi, Faculty of Pharmacy, Faculty of Dentistry, Faculty of Medical Technology, Faculty of Veterinary Science, and Faculty of Science. The department is strongly research-oriented as along with the Mahidol University’s main policy of Research University. Therefore, all-level of Biomedical Engineering students are required to participate in our research activities. The department has also collaborated with several leading international institutes and organizations around the world to promote and benchmark our research to be among the top and leading biomedical engineering research in world.
