Bioengineering (Regenerative Medicine)

Imagine being at the forefront of medical innovation, where you can help the human body heal and rebuild itself. Our Bioengineering (Regenerative Medicine) BSc combines cutting-edge science with real-world problem-solving. Working alongside our experts with access to state of the art laboratories, you will gain the transdisciplinary bioengineering know-how and practical skills to work on research, discovery and production of regenerative medicines.

Why choose this course?

• Learn from scientific pioneers with world-leading expertise in the field of bioengineering and regenerative medicine

• Access to state-of-the-art facilities including our Central Science Laboratories and David Attenborough Laboratories

• Benefit from a comprehensive programme of academic and professional development workshops to enhance your employability skills

• Engage with multiple forms of active learning including flipped-classrooms and audience response systems

• Attend seminars by scientists, clinicians or industry experts that are nationally and internationally recognised experts in the field

Our Bioengineering degree is an innovative programme that aims to develop aspiring bioengineers into a specialised workforce, that will respond to the future demands for regenerative therapeutic strategies.

The discipline integrates biochemical, molecular and cellular knowledge with engineering principles to design new types of advanced therapies to repair, replace and rejuvenate damaged or diseased tissues. In your first year of study you will gain a solid grounding in the core components of life, exploring cell biology, molecular science, and human anatomy.

Building on this knowledge, you'll explore more specialised topics like stem cell biology and tissue engineering. You'll learn how to work with biomaterials that can potentially rebuild damaged body parts and understand the complex world of molecular interactions.

Within your second and third year you can choose optional topics to tailor your experience to your own interests and career goals, for example homing biological theory in cell biology for regenerative medicine, cell signalling, studying current topics in regenerative medicine, cancer biology, precision medicine and nanomedicine.

To apply your learning, you will gain hands-on laboratory experience through sessions delivered in our state-of-the-art David Attenborough Laboratories, Central Science Laboratories and at the Guy Hilton Research Institute (at the Royal Stoke University Hospital).

In your final year you will examine biomedical engineering, concepts in good manufacturing processes, employability and communication skills, whilst undertaking an independent research project and choosing from a variety of optional modules that align with your career goals.

About Keele

Keele University was established in 1949 by the former Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University. Founded to meet the needs of a changing world, Keele has always had a pioneering vision to be a different kind of university.

We excel in both teaching and research, with some of the most satisfied students in England, and research that is changing lives for the better at a regional, national and global level.

Our beautiful 600-acre campus is one of the biggest in Britain – but all the most important services and facilities are on your doorstep, with accommodation, teaching spaces, facilities including a medical centre, sports centre and pharmacy, and a range of shops, eateries and entertainment venues – including the Students’ Union – clustered around the centre. Attend seminars by scientists, clinicians or industry experts that are nationally and internationally recognised experts in the field
