Biomedical Engineering

Explore engineering principles relating to the human body, working to design and innovate the medical technologies of tomorrow. International students that have already submitted a UCAS application should apply via our Clearing System. Biomedical Engineering applies engineering principles to the human body, in pursuit of an advanced and personalised style of future healthcare.

Combining engineering with the instrumentation used in modern medicine promises to generate important new technologies which touch, and extend, all our lifetimes. Our degree prepares you for a rewarding career across a range of sectors, working to design and innovate the medical technologies of tomorrow. You will gain core engineering skills while learning about anatomy, physiology and communication with clinicians.

As you progress, your developing analytical and problem-solving abilities will combine with hands-on experience of industrial medical devices and instruments, establishing skills that are vital to employment in the wider industry. The programme is studied as a 3-year Bachelors of Engineering (BEng), or a 4-year Integrated Master of Engineering (MEng) which meets the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Both our BEng and MEng courses include options to study with a Year Abroad, a Year in Industry and a Foundation Year.
