Bioengineering BEng (Hons) Program Overview
The Bioengineering BEng (Hons) at Loughborough University combines the application of engineering to biology and medicine, giving you a thorough grounding in engineering systems and applications relevant to bioengineering. You will gain a sound understanding of human anatomy, physiology, and biological functions, along with the ability to apply your knowledge to real-world bioengineering problems.
This truly interdisciplinary program draws from expertise across multiple academic departments, including Chemical Engineering, Materials, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, and Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Teaching is further enriched by contributions from Loughborough's School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences, which has a strong global reputation.
The program takes you from fundamental science and engineering to the cutting edge of the subject, with access to state-of-the-art experimental labs and the opportunity to complete a research project in your final year supervised by a member of the academic staff. An optional placement year allows you to gain valuable industry experience with leading employers.
Key Program Highlights
- Accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), supporting your path to Chartered Engineer status
- Top 5 in the UK for Graduate Prospects in Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering (The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2026)
- Access to the GBP 17 million STEMLab with 3,500 square metres of modern student-focused laboratory facilities

Curriculum and Modules
The Bioengineering BEng curriculum provides a thorough grounding in engineering and biological concepts, with a balanced mix of theory, application, and practical content from day one. The first two years of the BEng and MEng share the same content, and students are assessed through a mixture of coursework and written examinations with an approximate ratio of 60/40.
Introduction to Biomedical Engineering
20Provides an understanding of the basic engineering and life science principles used in designing and making exemplar bioengineering products, including prosthetics, biomaterial implants, and medical devices.
Human Anatomy and Physiology
20Develops a sound understanding of human anatomy, physiology, and biological functions, providing the biological foundation needed for bioengineering applications.
Engineering Mathematics and Modelling
20Covers the mathematical tools and computational modelling techniques essential for analysing and solving bioengineering problems across biological and mechanical systems.
Biomechanics
20Explores the mechanical principles governing the human body, including movement analysis, tissue mechanics, and the design of prosthetic and assistive devices.
Materials for Bioengineering
20Examines the properties and applications of biomaterials used in medical implants, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine, including biocompatibility and material selection.
Individual Research Project
40A final-year research project on a specific topic of interest, supervised by a member of academic staff, allowing you to apply your knowledge and skills to an original bioengineering challenge.
