Course summary

Be inspired to help shape the future of healthcare technology on this flexible course. Beginning with a broad-based introduction to biomedical engineering, you'll learn about biology, physiology and anatomy, and begin to understand how traditional engineering principles can be applied to the human body.


Be at the forefront of the rapidly growing medical technology sector and save and improve people’s lives through this well-established Biomedical Engineering BEng.

Our expert academic team, composed of industry experts, clinicians and academics, has been teaching biomedical engineering at Sheffield for over a decade. They’ll show you how traditional engineering principles can be used to heal the human body, by integrating disciplines from across the field of engineering.Tissue engineering, biotechnology, mechanics and robotics – we teach you how to use technology to give people a healthier and more fulfilling life.The BEng offers unparalleled flexibility to allow you to tailor your course to your interests. Your first year gives an introduction to bioengineering, at the end of which you’ll begin to broadly tailor the course towards a specialism, by choosing one of the following four specialisms for the rest of the course:- Biomedical Engineering: use engineering principles to help safeguard and enhance human health.- Medical Devices and Systems: develop novel devices and improve clinical engineering systems.- Biomaterials Science and Tissue Engineering: apply materials engineering and cell biology principles to repair damaged body tissues and organs.- Biomanufacturing: apply chemical engineering and cell biology principles to the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and other biologically active substances.The degree will culminate in an individual project, where you’ll spend your final year working with an academic on your chosen specialism.
