SSN School of Advanced Career Education in Chennai (a part of SSN Institutions and Shiv Nadar Foundation) and Drexel University, US have announced a landmark collaboration to establish the SSN-Drexel University International Graduate Programme in Biomedical Engineering.

The programme will specialise in Medical Instrumentation, offering Indian students exceptional opportunities to pursue an advanced degree. By combining the expertise of two world-class institutions, students will gain a strong foundation in biomedical engineering principles and cutting-edge knowledge in medical instrumentation.

Graduates, in particular international STEM students, will benefit from a guaranteed three-year work visa (OTP) on graduation, enhancing their career prospects globally. 
 
“The Department of Biomedical Engineering at SSN has a long-standing association with the Drexel School of Biomedical Engineering, including joint research publications and student internships. This collaboration will offer students a world-class opportunity to foster creativity and technological innovation cost-effectively,” said Dr. Kala Vijayakumar, President, SSN Institutions, India.
 
“Drexel’s unique co-op programme offers students the possibility to find employment directly in industry during their degree programme. Students on co-op put into practice what they learn in the classroom, gain real work experience, and make a salary that substantially offsets tuition costs”, said Rogelio Miñana, Ph.D. Vice Provost for Global Engagement, Professor of Spanish and Global Studies, Drexel University, Philadelphia, USA.
