Biomedical and Healthcare Engineering MEng (Hons)

About

This interdisciplinary course begins with a general engineering foundation and introduces elements of health sciences, before focusing on advanced biomedical and healthcare engineering.

Advanced subjects include biomedical instrumentation, biomaterials, biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering, and biosignal analysis techniques.

Your learning involves a combination of theoretical, experimental, and computational study. Our approach encourages critical thinking and fosters curiosity through teamwork and independent study.

Group learning and communication skills are emphasised through design projects and presentations, which demonstrate your expertise to employers. A fourth year at master's level helps your transition to professional practice.

Benefit from industry and NHS involvement, with projects set by external professionals, and guest lectures from practising biomedical and healthcare engineers
Study in world-leading test facilities, including our flagship Biomedical Engineering Research Centre
Design and fabricate healthcare technologies, perform physiological measurements and undertake analysis of biosignals
Take an optional placement year to boost your employability – recent placements have included Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, St Bartholomew's Hospital, CureVac, Genetic Microdevices (GMD)
Fast-track to Chartered Engineer status with a degree that meets all academic requirements for professional registration.

Accreditation

We have every expectation that these degrees will receive full accreditation from the Institute of Physics Engineering in Medicine (IPEM), the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Institute of Measurement and Control (InstMC).

This integrated master's degree prepares you for a career providing highly specialised science and engineering expertise to medical and healthcare industries. As a biomedical and healthcare engineer, you'll apply your knowledge to the operation of cutting-edge technology used in the diagnosis and treatment of patients.
