Course summary

A technology driven subject with a focus on enhancing human health and wellbeing, you'll gain a comprehensive understanding of core engineering principles applied to the human body and biological systems. Alongside a core biomedical engineering degree course, there is also the option to experience a Year in Industry.If you don't have the usual scientific or mathematical background for an engineering degree, a foundation year is for you. After successfully completing the foundation year, which has modules in mathematics, physics and chemistry, you can start a BEng or MEng degree.This well-established course has been running over a decade. You'll learn how to use engineering expertise to analyse and solve problems in biology and medicine. Your study will explore how engineering and biomedical engineering combine in the application of engineering principles to human health.Our flexible course gives you the opportunity to study the full breadth of biomedical engineering subjects in your first year. At the end of year one you'll choose between two broad themes before refining your choice even further at the end of year two study one of these four specialisms: biomedical engineering medical devices and systems biomaterials science and tissue engineering biomanufacturing.Project work, sometimes in groups, could see you tackling industrial problems and developing your management skills. In your third year you'll work on a group project, and in your final year, you'll work on an individual project related to the specialism that you choose.Our graduates have become professional engineers who design medical instruments, repair body tissue and solve clinical problems through research. They work closely with materials scientists, physicians, dentists, therapists and technologists to help benefit human health. The transferable skills gained on the course have also enabled graduates to take up careers in law, finance, scientific writing and other fields.
