Course Description
Be inspired to help shape the future of healthcare technology on this flexible and well-established course which has been running over a decade.
In your first year you'll get a broad-based introduction to bioengineering.
You'll learn about biology, physiology and anatomy, and begin to understand how traditional engineering principles can be applied to the human body.
At the end of year one, you'll choose between two broad themes before refining your choice even further in year two to study one of these four specialisms for the rest of the course:
Biomedical Engineering - How engineering principles can provide innovative solutions to safeguard and enhance human health.
Medical Devices and Systems - The development of novel medical devices and the improvement of clinical engineering systems.
Biomaterials Science and Tissue Engineering - The application of materials engineering and cell biology principles to achieve improved repair of injured and damaged body tissues and organs.
Biomanufacturing - The application of chemical engineering and cell biology principles to improve the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and other biologically active substances.
In the third year you'll complete an individual project on a topic related to your chosen specialism.
All our students take the Global Engineering Challenge. Working with students from other engineering courses you'll have to find creative solutions to problems.
The project looks at challenges faced by communities throughout the world. It's designed to develop you as a professional engineer and get you thinking about sustainable solutions.
Accredited by the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
