Course description
Why study this course?
According to the National Student Survey 2024, the University of Sheffield is ranked number one in the Russell Group in the subject of bioengineering, medical and biomedical engineering.
Use unique biomedical spaces such as the Bio mammalian and Bio bacteria labs, along with the Microfabrication room, Electronics clean room and the Pilot Plant in the Diamond.
As rated by The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024. We're also one of the longest-running biomedical engineering departments in the country.
From your second year you can choose between four specialisms: Biomedical Engineering, Medical Devices and Systems, Biomaterials Science and Tissue Engineering, or Biomanufacturing.
Join teams of students to solve engineering problems in developing countries – pushing you to develop you as a professional engineer and enhancing your career prospects.
Be at the forefront of the rapidly growing medical technology sector and save and improve people’s lives, through this well-established biomedical engineering with a foundation year degree.
If you don't have the usual scientific or mathematical background for an engineering degree, a foundation year is for you. After successfully completing the foundation year, you can start a BEng or MEng degree.
Our expert academic team, composed of industry experts, clinicians and academics, has been teaching biomedical engineering at Sheffield for over a decade. They’ll show you how traditional engineering principles can be used to heal the human body, by integrating disciplines from across the field of engineering.
Tissue engineering, biotechnology, mechanics and robotics – we teach you how to use technology to give people a healthier and more fulfilling life.
The BEng offers unparalleled flexibility to allow you to tailor your course to your interests. By choosing to take an MEng, you’ll be taking a longer period of study with an integrated masters. Your first year gives an introduction to bioengineering, at the end of which you’ll begin to broadly tailor the course towards a specialism, by choosing one of the following four specialisms for the rest of the course:
- Biomedical Engineering: use engineering principles to help safeguard and enhance human health.
- Medical Devices and Systems: develop novel devices and improve clinical engineering systems.
- Biomaterials Science and Tissue Engineering: apply materials engineering and cell biology principles to repair damaged body tissues and organs.
- Biomanufacturing: apply chemical engineering and cell biology principles to the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and other biologically active substances.
Because the MEng is a year longer than the BEng, you’ll have more opportunity to complete project work – sometimes in groups – tackling industrial problems and developing your management skills.
The degree will culminate in an individual project, where you’ll spend your final year working with an academic on your chosen specialism.
