You’ll have access to our fantastic facilities, which include:
• Clinical-grade human movement lab
• Latest design software and computer-numerical-control (CNC) machine tooling equipment within our Design Centre.
• State of the art material characterisation and testing facilities.
You’ll also have the opportunity to take part in our award-winning Professional Training placements. This gives students work experience opportunities with leading organisations such as GE Healthcare, DePuy Synthes, 3M, Abbott, Renishaw Neuro Solutions.
Our BEng and MEng are accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE).
**What you will study**
With a strong focus on clinical applications, our biomedical engineering courses explore a broad curriculum. This includes human movement, biosensors, prosthesis design, biomedical signal processing and implant technology, among other topics.
You can apply to study for either a BEng or Meng. The MEng builds on the BEng with a masters year and is a direct route to a masters qualification, known as an integrated masters.
