ALL ABOUT BIOMEDICAL TECHNOLOGY IN FUTO

History

The Department of Biomedical Technology is the first of its kind in Nigeria. In 2008/2009, the Department graduated the first set of Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Biomedical Technology in Nigeria. From the 2009/2010 session, the Department of Biomedical Technology initiated post-graduate studies at the M.Sc and PhD levels.

Vision

To provide sound academic and profession background for the production of world class Biomedical Technologist/ Engineers who would satisfactory combine the knowledge of biology and medical Sciences with those of engineering and physical sciences, and drive such with bioinformatics skills, in solving problems in biology, Medicare and Healthcare, Sports as well as emerging and re-emerging safety related endeavours.

Mission

To expose students to broad areas of the basic biological, medical, physical, and engineering sciences in addition to applied biomaterials, biomedical, safety, clinical and rehabilitation engineering and technologies.

Objectives

• The programme is designed to instil in students a sense of enthusiasm for the profession through the broad exposure in the areas of basic biological, medical, physical and engineering science in addition to applied biomaterials, safety, clinical and rehabilitation engineering and technologies.
• To equip the graduates to design, manufacture and maintain biomedical devices.
• The inter–disciplinary nature of the programme positions the graduates to be versatile self-reliant, with modelled entrepreneurial skill fan to success in the business world.
• The graduates with in-depth knowledge of both the practical and theoretical in Bio-medical technology can generate on graduation, macro-economy in the globe and micro- economy within communities.

Achievements

• The Department of Biomedical Technology is the first Department to produce graduates with Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Technology in Nigeria.
• Postgraduate Programmes in the field is offered only in the Department in Nigeria.
• The Department presently hosts the College of Biomedical Engineering/Technology of Nigerian Institute of Biomedical Engineering.
