Program Overview

Our BEng (Hons) Biomedical Engineering degree offers the chance to harness engineering principles to tackle medical issues. For technical thinkers and born problem solvers, it’s a degree that offers the practical skills and cutting-edge understanding to pursue a future in a highly specialised field.From start to finish, it’s a degree with a hands-on approach: with us, you’ll learn by doing. Along the way, you’ll explore a range of topics- these could include key engineering concepts, design techniques and digital manufacturing processes, as well as biological systems, anatomy and physiology – while gaining practical experience of the latest technologies, like 3D printing and rapid prototyping.The course then culminates in a major individual project, capturing all you’ve learned. It’s not only a chance to demonstrate your professional-standard technological skills, but also a career-boosting opportunity to showcase your work at our degree show. Put simply, by the time you graduate, you’ll have what it takes to make a mark in biomedical engineering – not just for today, but for years to come.**FEATURES AND BENEFITS**- Learn from experts in academic research, industrial R&D and commercial design, giving you an understanding of the latest technology and design techniques, coupled with an appreciation of the commercial environment.- Tackle real-world live projects set by our industry partners, with the chance to develop valuable skills and learn from valuable feedback, advice and insights from industry insiders.- Spend a year on industrial placement with our four-year placement route and gain invaluable experience working in industry. This may be subject to national lockdown restrictions.- Get hands on with the latest digital design and fabrication technologies at our 3D additive and digital manufacturing centre, PrintCity.- Participate in national competitions, like the Formula Student racing car competition or the Engineering For People Design Challenge.- Take part in an Industry-4.0-focused degree programme supported by strategic links with Siemens and Autodesk.
