Explore our new range of biomedical and medical engineering programmes. Discover what each course can offer, and learn more about our industrial placement year options.

Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical engineers design, develop and deliver the health and wellbeing devices of the future. Our new offering includes a 3-year BEng variant, a 4-year MEng variant, and a 5-year MEng with industrial studies variant.

You'll have the opportunity to deepen your specialist knowledge on each of these by choosing a pathway. These include:

  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Digital Health
  • Electronic Systems
  • Mechatronics for Health

Our year in industry variant will allow you to apply the knowledge and skills that you’ve developed during the early years of your degree, and gain vital experience towards becoming a professional biomedical engineer after graduation.

Medical Engineering

Develop the next generation of healthcare technologies. You’ll design, build and test innovative new treatment methods and work to bridge the gap between engineering and medicine. 

Our medical engineering programmes have a strong focus on mechanical engineering, user interaction and needs. The technologies you develop will help support patients, carers and clinicians in enabling longer, healthier and happier lives.

Explore our facilities

We have huge range of modern, industry-standard facilities for you to use. These include, (but are not limited to):

μ-VIS

 

Visit our high-resolution 3D imaging centre, with applications from biological tissues, to aircraft engines, to satellite thrusters.

Projects Laboratory

 

This world class versatile area is for industrial led student projects and is designed to facilitate the project life cycle.

The Arthur Brunnschweiler Teaching Laboratory

 

See where our students design and conduct rigorous experiments and assemble test circuits using prototype circuit boards or PCBs.

Centre for Hybrid Biodevices

 

Cutting-edge research carried out in this multi-function level 1 and 2 bio containment lab includes developing new tests for anti-microbial resistance.

Control Lab

 

See the biometrics laboratory, quiet room and experimental production platforms.

Human Factors Research Unit

 

These laboratories have a unique range of human-rated test facilities for experimental studies of human responses to vibration and low frequency oscillation.

Zepler Institute Cleanroom Facilities

 

Look through the glass at the largest multidisciplinary cleanroom of its type in the UK. Here new nanotechnology concepts are prototyped, including next generation bio-medical sensors.

    Biomedical Engineering in 5

    This short video covers an explanation of what Biomedical Engineering is, why it's an important subject to study.
For me, the speciality of the course was a massive winning point. In my second year, I had a design project looking at remote monitoring of physical therapy exercises for stroke rehabilitation. It was a really fun project, with incorporation from different sides of my course, including physical sensors, software design and machine learning.
