Biomedical Engineering

Apply professional engineering knowledge to understand, modify and control biological systems on this 4-year MEng Biomedical Engineering integrated Master's degree.

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 years of the MEng programme share the same curriculum as the BEng. The final fourth year provides additional focused study, and enables you to emerge with a masters degree.

Professional Accreditation
The MEng in Biomedical Engineering is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). It's recognised by the UK Engineering Council as leading to full Chartered Engineer (CEng) status by completing the academic requirements of the CEng application.
