Biomedical Engineering BEng (Hons) / MEng

About

Our BEng and MEng are taught by leading academics, drawing on more than 50 years' experience of training biomedical engineers.

You'll also benefit from our fantastic facilities. These include:

Newly fitted state-of-the-art microengineering facilities, clinical-grade human movement lab, and unique bioelectronic laboratory.
Latest design software and computer-numerical-control (CNC) machine tooling equipment within our Design Centre.

You'll have the opportunity to take part in our award-winning Professional Training placements, too. This gives students work experience opportunities with leading organisations such as GE Healthcare, DePuy Synthes, 3M, Abbott, Renishaw and the NHS.

We deliver on jobs as well. We were named University of the Year for Graduate Employment in The Times/Sunday Times Good University Guide for 2022.

We are ranked top 10 in the UK for Biomedical Engineering by the Complete University Guide 2023.

Our BEng and MEng are accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE).

With a strong focus on clinical applications, our biomedical engineering courses explore a broad curriculum. This includes human movement, biosensors, prosthesis design, biomedical signal processing and implant technology, among other topics.

You can apply to study for either a BEng or Meng. The MEng builds on the BEng with a masters year and is a direct route to a masters qualification.

Depending on your progress, you may have the option to switch to a BEng or MEng during your studies. Find out more about the benefits of an integrated masters degree.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

We do not accept school leaving qualifications from Jordan. However, if you do not meet the direct entry requirements for a course, you can apply to study an International Foundation Year programme at the University of Surrey International Study Centre. Upon successful completion, you can progress to an undergraduate degree at the University of Surrey.

Career

Professional recognition

BEng (Hons) - Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)
Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.

BEng (Hons) - Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)
The accredited BEng (Hons) will meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer and Students will need to complete an approved format of further learning pursuant to the requirements of UKSPEC. The accredited BEng (Hons) will also automatically meet in full, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng).

MEng - Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)
Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.

MEng - Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)
The accredited MEng fully meets the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements, for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).

Careers and graduate prospects

We offer careers information, advice and guidance to all students whilst studying with us, which is extended to our alumni for three years after leaving the University.

Over the last decade, our employment figures have been among the best in the UK. This was a key factor in Surrey being named University of the Year for Graduate Employment in The Times/Sunday Times Good University Guide for 2022. In the Graduate Outcomes survey 2022 results show 95 per cent of our undergraduate mechanical engineering sciences students go on to employment or further study.

Most of our biomedical engineering graduates proceed directly to employment in the biomedical engineering profession. Biomedical engineers can work in a number of areas, including as clinical scientists in the NHS, in rehabilitation, as designers of medical equipment, or even in sports science or biomechanics.

A significant number of students go on to further their studies with postgraduate qualifications in biomedical engineering and related disciplines.

Recent graduates have entered employment in roles such as:

Assistant Medical Auditor/Project Handler, TUV SUD Product Service
Bioengineer, DePuy Synthes
Clinical Scientists and Engineers for the NHS
Associate Engineer R&D Leadership Programme (Medical R&D), Pall Corporation
Graduate Engineer (Design and Simulation), Manufacturing Technology Centre
Graduate Operations and Systems Engineer, CMR Surgical
Graduate Researcher, Safety and Technology at Transport Research Laboratory
Medical Engineer, Fourth State Medicine
PDP Graduate, Abbott
Quality Assurance Engineer, Medisafe International.

Graduate

Cameron Huggins

Biomedical Engineering MEng

Surrey promoted Abbott to me when I was looking for a Professional Training placement. I'm now working there, so it's given me a great opportunity for my graduate career and beyond!

Graduate

Dominic Clarke

Biomedical Engineering MEng

Studying for an MEng at Surrey confirmed I wanted to work in medical device product development. It also gave me a strong grounding in fundamental concepts across a variety of medical technologies.
