Biomedical Engineering BEng

Please note : This programme is currently under review as part of the University’s ongoing curriculum enhancement process. The information on this webpage reflects the current structure and content of the programme. Any future changes will be communicated to applicants and offer holders once confirmed. That's Biomedical Engineering, transforming healthcare through customised medical devices, prosthetics, and even organs to improve people’s lives. This BEng in Biomedical Engineering provides a comprehensive education in engineering technology combined with deeper understanding of human biology to enable you to build innovative rehabilitation technology and medical devices. You will work alongside researchers at the leading edge of biomedical engineering to solve key problems and barriers to innovative healthcare technology. We also have a 'with-industry' variant for a one-year placement in a MedTech/HealthTech company or hospital/clinic. In Year 1 you will learn diverse core engineering technology skills to support you through the programmes: from mechanical engineering, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, engineering mathematics and programming, through to electrical engineering, digital electronics and communications. In parallel you will have the opportunity to explore human anatomy and physiology with biomedical engineering laboratories. In Year 2 you will begin learning about medical technology and rehabilitation devices and how innovators get these to market. You will further your understanding engineering maths for system modelling and build expertise materials, bio-materials, control, mechatronics and embedded systems. In Year 3 you will focus on latest technologies for wearable devices and prosthetics, covering machine learning algorithms for data analysis and biomechanics all of which are essential to building innovative healthcare Each of our Engineering subjects is available in six forms: The MEng places greater emphasis on industrially-related project wo
