Biomedical Engineering MEng (Hons) With Placement

About

Overview

Apply professional engineering knowledge to understand, modify and control biological systems on this 5-year integrated Master's degree with a sandwich placement year in industry.

You’ll study disciplines such as:

rehabilitation engineering – prosthetic / orthotic devices
biomaterials and implant design
tissue engineering and wound repair for artificial organs
genomic coding and genetic engineering
medical technology – design and manufacturing

All teaching is informed by the latest research, and is delivered by experienced medical engineers and clinical scientists. You’ll also gain professional insight from leading industry partners, and hands-on practical experience in our state-of-the-art engineering laboratories.

The first three campus-based years of the MEng programme share the same curriculum as the BEng. You’ll also undertake a placement year in industry for your third year, enabling you to build contacts whilst developing your skills and professional confidence. Your final year provides additional focused study, and enables you to emerge with a Master's degree.

Programme options

We also offer a 4-year version of the MEng without the 'sandwich' placement year in industry.

You may also be interested in our BEng Biomedical Engineering programmes. We offer a 3-year version of the BEng and a 4-year version with sandwich year.

Professional accreditation

These courses are accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), and can lead to Chartered Engineer (CEng) accreditation. This course is recognised by ENAEE (European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education).
