About this course
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. Even in the first few weeks, you’ll tackle a team-based design-and-build challenge to help you get settled into the subject. Then, at the end of each year, you’ll finish off with a major project – your chance to turn learning into action.
Along the way, you’ll explore a range of topics – from key engineering concepts, design techniques and digital manufacturing processes, to biological systems, anatomy and physiology – while gaining practical experience with 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.
- 100% of our research impact in Engineering is world-leading or internationally excellent — and 75% is at the highest 4* level (REF 2021).
- Tackle real-world live projects set by our industry partners, with the chance to develop valuable skills and learn from feedback, advice and insights from industry insiders.
- The four-year placement route gives you the opportunity to spend your third year on an industry placement boosting your employment prospects on graduation.
- Get hands on with the latest digital design and fabrication technologies at our 3D additive and digital manufacturing centre, PrintCity.
- We are investing £115m to transform the way we teach and you learn in the Faculty of Science and Engineering. Our new Dalton Building will enhance collaboration between students, staff and industry and provide new and improved teaching spaces, including a dedicated engineering learning studio and a purpose-built light engineering workshop.
- 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.
- This degree course shares a common first year with our MEng and BEng degrees in electrical and electronic engineering and mechanical engineering, so you may be able to transfer between courses.
