Biomedical Engineering - BEng (Hons)

Manchester Metropolitan University

Biomedical engineering is central to the future of medicine. It’s the specialism behind some of the greatest leaps in treatment, diagnosis and rehabilitation, and this course offers you the chance to be part of the next generation. Few other subjects provide such a direct route from technological innovation to human impact.  Our BEng (Hons) Biomedical Engineering degree offers an exciting opportunity to be part of that future. With a mix of skills and understanding that crosses disciplines – setting design and engineering skills in a biomedical and sport science context – this is a course that opens the doors to a rewarding career with impact on people’s health and well-being.  While it’s a subject rooted in complex theory and academic principle, it’s one you learn by stepping into the lab and getting to grips with real kit – by trying things, building things, and doing things. With this degree, you can aim for a career working with the latest technical innovations in primary healthcare, enhancing performance and accessibility in sport, or even helping create the products that allow people to live safely, independently, and sustainably in communities across the world.  This course is also available with a foundation year.
