That's Biomedical Engineering, transforming healthcare through customised medical devices, prosthetics, and even organs to improve people’s lives. This MEng 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 and explore how to bring those to market. 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 Year 4 focuses on leading-edge technologies for biomedical engineers and you will get

Academic

For entry to the first year of a Bachelors degree you will need a High School Diploma with at least a grade C average together with SATR (Math, Critical Reading and Writing) with a minimum score of 550 in each and three Advanced Placement exams. The AP grades needed will vary depending on the degree that you wish to study but grades 4 or 5 would be a typical requirement. You may also require specific subjects for some degrees. If you have already completed the first year of an undergraduate degree at a university in the USA, you may be considered for entry to the first year of a Bachelors degree. Law students only: Please note that you can only start from the first year of a Law degree. No credit transfer or exemptions are given.
