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 manufacturingAll 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, 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.

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).

Our BEng / MEng in Biomedical Engineering received 92% overall satisfaction in the National Student Survey 2020.

This Biomedical Engineering programme offers you the opportunity to take up a placement year working in industry in your third year.The placement year is an excellent way to develop your professional experience, build industry contacts, and gain insight into the day-to-day work of a professional biomedical engineer.Our students have undertaken placements with organisations such as:- DePuySynthes (Johnson & Johnson)- Smith & Nephew- Biomet Healthcare UK- GE Healthcare- Stanmore Orthopaedics- Smiths Medical- IMI Precision Manufacturing- Siemens AG- Zimmer- BlatchfordAfter completing your placement you’ll return to complete the final year of the programme, and apply all you’ve learnt to your final project. Many students continue their relationship with their placement employers, working for them part-time or returning to work in graduate positions after finishing their studies.
