    About

    Course overview Biomedical and Healthcare Engineering BEng (Hons)

    This three-year course is interdisciplinary, starting with an engineering basis then introducing elements of health sciences before focusing on advanced biomedical and healthcare engineering subjects such as biomedical instrumentation, biomaterials, biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering, electrophysiology and cardiorespiratory measurements, imaging, sensing and bio signal analysis techniques including data analytics in healthcare.

    Learning involves a combination of theoretical, experimental, and computational study. Our approach is to encourage critical thinking and foster curiosity through both teamwork and independent study.

    Group learning and communication skills are emphasised through design studies and student presentations. Over the three years, you will develop professional engineering skills, with a focus on innovative and sustainable solutions to healthcare related challenges.

    Individual and group biomedical and healthcare engineering design projects demonstrate your expertise to future employers.

    • Benefit from exceptional industry and NHS involvement in the degree programme, including projects set by industry and NHS and guest lectures from practising biomedical and healthcare engineers
    • Study in world leading test facilities, including our flagship Biomedical Engineering Research Centre, where you conduct research and test your theories
    • Get hands-on experience with designing and fabricating healthcare technologies and performing physiological measurements and analysis of bio signals
    • Take an optional placement year to boost your employability. Recent placements have included Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, St Bartholomew's Hospital, Draeger, PerkinElmer, CureVac, Genetic Microdevices (GMD)
    • Fast track your progress to Chartered Engineer status, with a degree that meets all academic requirements for professional registration.

    Accreditation

    Our current Biomedical Engineering degrees are accredited by the Institute of Physics Engineering in Medicine (IPEM), the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Institute of Measurement and Control (InstMC). We have every expectation that these degrees will similarly receive full accreditation.

    Biomedical and healthcare engineers are professionals that apply the principles of science, engineering and medicine directly to the devices and operation of the complex medical technologies used in the prognosis, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of the sick and injured.

    You’ll develop a strong technical background in the key subjects of biomedical and healthcare engineering. Management studies and engineering design are also integral parts of the course.
