Biomaterials Engineering BEng (Hons)

About

Overview

Our Biomaterials Engineering degree will teach you the fundamentals of materials, their properties and engineering methods. It will teach you how to apply these to the biomedical field, particularly within the human body. Application areas are in the health, sport, and lifestyle sectors, as well as in regenerative medicine. In the context of a worldwide ageing population, biomaterials and medical device technology are developing fields that are set to grow for many years.

By its nature, this course is interdisciplinary, and benefits from the expertise of our School of Sports, Exercise and Health Sciences and Department of Chemical Engineering including Regenerative Medicine.

Our Biomaterials Engineering degree is a comprehensive programme of modules that deliver both the theory and the essential industrial relevance employers seek from graduates. The course content contains all aspects of materials and biomaterials. This includes their selection, manufacture, testing, assembly and environmental impact both during production and at the end of life.

What's the difference between MEng and BEng?

The first two years of a BEng and MEng share the same content, format and structure, with a good mix of theory, application and practical content from day one. The MEng differs from the BEng course in the third and fourth years by offering you the opportunity to study technical and management topics at a more advanced level. It is possible to transfer from a BEng to an MEng from the start of the course up to the end of the second year, providing that the transfer progression criteria are met.

Graduate Outcomes, Bioengineering and Materials, 2021-22 Graduates

There are excellent career prospects in the biomaterials and healthcare sectors that cover both passive and active devices. Passive devices include orthopaedic implants, prosthetics, and contact lenses. Active devices include a range of medical device technologies such as pacemakers, cochlear implants and insulin pumps.

Many other career opportunities lie within sectors that are more usually associated with Materials Engineering. For example, automotive, aerospace, construction, sports and leisure, electronics and food and retail. Graduates can also go into wider career paths such as business, banking, finance and general management.

Careers Fair

We hold our own Engineering Careers Fair. In recent years, over 80 companies have attended our fair to employ our students. This includes major consulting and contracting companies in the UK, as well as more local and specialist firms. Other major employers who employ Materials graduates, as well as other graduates, also attend the University-wide careers fair.
