Medical Engineering seeks to solve the medical issues of tomorrow by combining biology, medicine and healthcare with engineering to create next-generation technologies for healthcare and wellbeing. Our Medical Engineering course takes a patient-centred approach and follows a pathway of general and mechanical engineering. Specialist modules provide insight into medical engineering fundamentals and practice.As a Medical Engineering student at Southampton, you’ll learn the underlying principles of medical technologies and gain the ability to design, develop and deliver new products. You will work on projects, examples and case-studies from medical and healthcare applications of engineering.During the first two years of this integrated master's course you will study an introduction to Medical Engineering and engineering principles, as well as specialist modules from human biology to mechanics, to engineering law and management. The third year will allow you to specialise further with a range of exciting optional modules and an individual project, and in the final year you will also participate in a group design project, applying your engineering knowledge to a design problem. In the third and final years you will also be able to choose modules from our Biomedical Engineering course, giving you the ability to build a unique set of Biomedical Engineering skills. Your Industrial Placement Year will enhance your employability, with an additional year-long paid placement in an engineering organisation. You will be able to apply the knowledge and skills that you developed during the early years of your degree, developing vital professional knowledge and skills to prepare you to become a professional engineer after graduation.The University of Southampton has a long tradition of interdisciplinary research and teaching at the interface between engineering and healthcare. The calibre of our teaching and facilities also reflect our experience in this area, and you will have access to our extensive facilities including a high-resolution 3D imaging centre, and the Human Factors Research Unit. You'll graduate equipped with the skills and knowledge to join the flourishing global health technology sector.

A*AA including mathematics (minimum grade A) and either biology, chemistry, further mathematics, or physics (minimum grade A). If you are taking an EPQ in addition to 3 A levels, you will receive the following offer in addition to the standard A level offer: AAA including mathematics and either biology, chemistry, further mathematics, or physics, plus grade A in the EPQ. Offers typically exclude General Studies and Critical Thinking. A pass in the science Practical is required where it is separately endorsed. We are committed to ensuring that all applicants with the potential to succeed, regardless of their background, are encouraged to apply to study with us. The additional information gained through contextual data allows us to recognise an applicant's potential to succeed in the context of their background and experience. Applicants who are highlighted in this way will be made an offer which is lower than the typical offer for that programme.Applicants who have not studied the required subjects at A-level can apply for the Engineering/Physics/Mathematics Foundation Year.
Offers will be based on exams being taken at the end of S6. Subjects taken and qualifications achieved in S5 will be reviewed. Careful consideration will be given to an individual’s academic achievement, taking in to account the context and circumstances of their pre-university education.Please see the University of Southampton’s Curriculum for Excellence Scotland Statement (PDF) for further information. Applicants are advised to contact their Faculty Admissions Office for more information.
