Biomedical Engineering

About

This degree has been designed in consultation with the healthcare industry and medical community, ensuring youll receive an education thats up to speed with current developments. Traditionally, medical device companies have recruited from fields like mechanical and electronic engineering, and then provided additional training in bioengineering, but DCUs Biomedical Engineering integrates the necessary aspects of biology and medicine with the technical engineering aspects required to engineer medical devices. The range and sophistication of medical devices needed to apply treatment and fight disease is growing in response to rapidly evolving disease treatments. From cameras that explore blood vessels to scanners that analyse the entire human body, biomedical engineering expertise is in greater demand than ever before. Completing the course in four years earns you a Bachelors, or an optional Year Five could fast-track you to a Masters in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (Biomedical Major).
