Study Tours
BME Study Tour
BME Study Tour is a self-planned summer activity organized by BME Year-2 students and led by BME academic staff since the Year 2016.
The Study Tour not only allows students to gain first-hand experiences and to learn new knowledge by attending academic conferences and visiting overseas universities and museums, but is also an opportunity to promote the image of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University through students’ presentations and sharing during the visits.
In June 2023, fourteen students from the BME 2021 Cohort embarked on a Study Tour in Germany. They visited the trade fair REHAB to discover the latest advancements in rehabilitation technology and engaged with esteemed institutions like the Technical University of Darmstadt and the Berliner Hochschule für Technik to broaden their engineering knowledge. The students also explored the Berlin Museum of Medical History of the Charité and the Deschutes Museum to gain insights into the evolution of healthcare practice. These immersive experiences have inspired the students enormously and fueled their passion in the continuous pursuit of innovation in the field of Biomedical Engineering.
