The information on this page is accurate for students entering the programme in 2023/24 or before. For students entering the programme from September 2024 or after, you can find the details of your programme: BEng Medical Engineering (For students entering from September 2024 onwards)
From high-tech operating theatres and biomaterials to medical wearables and implant technologies, medical engineers play a crucial part in the evolution of modern healthcare. Bridging the gap between engineering and medicine through a multidisciplinary approach – medical engineering solutions combine knowledge of the body with engineering principles, technology, mechanics and innovation to develop tools for the medical community to improve the health and wellbeing of the population.
The programme will give students the ability to:
1. understand core mechanical engineering, biological and medical subjects relevant to the medical engineer, coupled with a depth of knowledge in the areas of biomechanics, biomaterials and medical engineering;
2. analyse, design and evaluate information in the biomedical engineering domain;
3. communicate, manage and utilise team working skills in pursuit of overcoming biomedical engineering challenges.
Additionally, we offer exciting opportunities like studying abroad and industrial work placements to ensure you have the best grounding to head out into the professional world.
