Biomedical Engineering

Apply professional engineering knowledge to understand, modify and control biological systems on this 4-year BEng (Hons) Biomedical Engineering degree, including a sandwich placement year in industry.

You’ll study disciplines such as:

• rehabilitation engineering – prosthetic / orthotic devices
• biomaterials and implant design
• tissue engineering and wound repair for artificial organs
• genomic coding and genetic engineering
• medical technology – design and manufacturing

All teaching is informed by the latest research, and is delivered by experienced medical engineers and clinical scientists.  You’ll also gain professional insight from leading industry partners, and hands-on practical experience in our state-of-the-art engineering laboratories.

A placement year in industry enables you to build contacts whilst developing your skills and professional confidence.

Depending on your level of progress, transfer to our integrated Master's degree is possible at the end of either your first or second year. The MEng programme comprises an extra fourth academic year of more in-depth study, and can be taken with or without a placement year in industry.

The programme is intended to help students to develop the engineering, medical, design, management and personal skills required to become professional medical engineers and in doing so, also equip them for careers in other professions.
