Medical Engineering

This programme has a strong focus on mechanical engineering, user interaction and needs. The technologies you develop will be for patients, carers, clinicians (doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists) and other stakeholders. 

You’ll have the opportunity to: 

• explore the design of assistive technologies, as well as systems for diagnosis, treatment and for monitoring.
• undertake design-build-test projects in years 1 and 2 and an individual project in year 3
• aCcess our outstanding research facilities, including our mechanical, electronics, biomechanics and bioengineering labs as well as patient test and human factors facilities
• understand the specific clinical, safety and ethical implications of biomedical engineering work, and routes to commercialization
• interact with industry through work placements, external speakers, industrial visits, and industrial design projects
• become familiar with specialist modelling software and modern equipment 

You’ll be taught by world experts in their field and undertake a wide variety of design tasks, projects and group activities to prepare you for a professional engineering career.
