Biomedical Engineering

Engage in hands-on projects where you will develop, prototype and explore the market for solutions to pressing biomedical engineering challenges. Prepare for a dynamic career in various sectors including medical device manufacturing, healthcare technology, academic research and third-sector organisations like the NHS, addressing critical medical issues such as ageing populations and non-communicable diseases. In your first year, you'll gain a comprehensive foundation in core engineering disciplines, including mechanical, electronic and materials engineering. As you progress through your degree, your modules will become more specialised, with a focus on biomedical engineering. Throughout the course, you'll have numerous opportunities for hands-on project work, allowing you to apply theoretical knowledge, develop practical skills and create innovative prototypes. This practical experience is designed to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world applications, preparing you for a successful career in the field. Biomedical engineering is a rapidly growing field, driven by the global ageing population and the increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases, as well as the need to manage and treat emerging health challenges.
