Program Description
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 manufacturing
All 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 for your third year, 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.
Sandwich Year
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.
