    Biomedical Engineering

    About

    Biomedical Engineering deals with the development of medical devices – in particular, those related to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine which can be used to replace or regenerate cells, tissues and organs.

    You'll be taught by experienced engineering professionals and by NHS clinicians and clinical engineers from local hospitals. Through a combination of virtual learning systems and traditional teaching, you'll develop the techniques to solve complex problems.

    You'll also learn practical dissection skills in the lab to gain a complete understanding of human anatomy and the medical engineering issues which may arise for surgeons.

    Biomedical Engineering at Hull is highly rated by our students. We're ranked 1st in the UK for teaching on my course**.

    What you'll study

    The course consists of 120 credits per year. Most modules are 20 credits, meaning you'll study six modules each year. Some longer modules, such as a dissertation, are worth more (e.g. 40 credits). In these cases, you'll study fewer modules - but the number of credits will always add up to 120.

    First year modules

    • Compulsory

      Engineering Global Challenge I

      Learn the basics of CAD (SolidWorks) and apply the skills to solve a defined contemporary problem as part of an interdisciplinary engineering team.

      Fundamentals of Engineering

      Introducing the key principles and concepts of mechanical and electrical and electronic engineering; ranging from digital electronics to basic stress analysis concepts.

      Mathematics for Engineers

      Gain knowledge of the characteristics of a range of functions and techniques appropriate to engineering, developing expertise in analysis, interpretation and problem solving.

      Practical Skills for Engineers

      An introduction to key experiments and construction skills required for electrical and electronic engineers, as well as hands-on experience in the mechanical engineering manufacturing workshop.

      Programming and Control

      Communication of mathematical problems and solutions, as well as logic simulation and C programming results for academic, specialist and non-specialist audiences.

      Thermofluids

      Gain knowledge, comprehension and hands-on experience of using a range of mathematical functions and techniques appropriate to the application of Engineering Thermofluids to engineering processes.

    Second year modules

    • Compulsory

      Physiological Measurement and Maths

      This module introduces you to physiological measurements in the context of medical engineering, including the devices used in clinical practice. 

      Mechanical Engineering Design

      An opportunity to apply engineering design tools and techniques to solve real-world engineering problems. This module will take you through the product design process right from initial design specification, though to manufacturing planning and prescription.

      NHS Medical Engineering in Practice and Stress Analysis

      Gain first-hand experience of medical engineering in the healthcare setting by spending time in a number of different departments in local NHS hospitals. 

      Introduction to Cell Mechanobiology and Maths

      Learn how cells detect, modify, and respond to physical and chemical stimuli within the extra cellular matrix. This module also develops core engineering skills in engineering maths.

      Materials and Manufacture

      Explore the reasons engineering structures can fail, sometimes unexpectedly, through fatigue and fast fracture, corrosion and creep, as well as processes to reduce such problems. 

      Engineering Global Challenge 2

      Develop and enhance a range of professional skills as a basis for professional registration as an Incorporated or Chartered Engineer. 

    Placement year modules

    Your placement is your opportunity to get some real-world work experience under your belt.

    Just like in the real world, you'll be responsible for finding and applying for opportunities, with the added benefit of help and support from university services such as the Careers and Employability service based in Student Central.

    The work you do will be logged and assessed and will count towards your final degree result.

    Final year modules

    • Core

      Individual Project (Medical Engineering)

      Apply and extend your engineering knowledge and professional skills by working on a substantial individual project throughout the academic year.

    • Compulsory

      Stress Analysis and Applications of Finite Element Analysis

      Examine advanced theories and techniques to solve stress-analysis problems. The theory and application of finite element analysis is also covered using industry-standard software.

      Prosthetics, Orthotics and Assistive Technologies

      Study the principles and biomechanics behind the design of prosthetics, orthotics and assistive devices.

      Artificial Organs and Micro/Nanotechnology for Biomedical Applications

      Explore devices for the replacement or augmentation of bodily functions and their application; the principles behind their design and the processes and technology used to manufacture these devices.

      Biomaterials and Orthopaedic Devices

      Examine the key structural biological materials in the human body and the biomedical materials currently available to the medical engineer for implantation in the body.

    All modules are subject to availability and this list may change at any time.

    How to Apply

    For the majority of our undergraduate courses, you’ll need to apply through UCAS. As well as providing your personal details, academic qualifications and any employment history – it’s a great way to showcase your skills, qualities and passion for the subject you’re wanting to study.

    You don’t need to complete your application all at once – after you’ve registered with UCAS, you can save your progress and sign back in at any time.

    Use our institution code H72, and for medicine (HYMS) use H75.


    When to apply

    Please apply through UCAS. We encourage applications by the January UCAS deadline, but will normally consider later applications for most courses. However, please be aware that Midwifery and Children's Nursing may close at that time.

    For Medicine, applications must reach UCAS by 15 October of the year before the course starts.

    To guarantee entry to the University, you must have met all the conditions of your offer by 31 August.

    UCAS Extra

    If you have used all five of your UCAS choices and not received any offers, UCAS Extra allows you to make one additional choice*. UCAS Extra is available from late February until 30 June. Please check the UCAS website for up to date information, including which programmes are available.

    *It is unlikely that you will get an offer by reapplying to the same department through UCAS Extra.
