Biomedical Engineering Beng (Hon)

Biomedical engineering is central to the future of medicine. It’s the specialism behind some of the greatest leaps in treatment, diagnosis and rehabilitation, and this course offers you the chance to be part of the next generation. Few other subjects provide such a direct route from technological innovation to human impact. <br/><br/>Our BSc (Hons) Biomedical Engineering degree offers an exciting opportunity to be part of that future. With a mix of skills and understanding that crosses disciplines – setting design and engineering skills in a biomedical and sport science context – this is a course that opens the doors to a rewarding career with impact on people’s health and well-being. <br/><br/>While it’s a subject rooted in complex theory and academic principle, it’s one you learn by stepping into the lab and getting to grips with real kit – by trying things, building things, and doing things. With this degree, you can aim for a career working with the latest technical innovations in primary healthcare, enhancing performance and accessibility in sport, or even helping create the products that allow people to live safely, independently, and sustainably in communities across the world. <br/><br/><strong>FEATURES AND BENEFITS</strong><br/><br/><br/>• Learn from experts in academic research, industrial R&D and commercial design, giving you an understanding of the latest technology and design techniques, coupled with an appreciation of the commercial environment.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• We’re ranked 6th in the UK for impact of research (REF 2021). <br/><br/><br/><br/>• Tackle real-world live projects set by our industry partners, with the chance to develop valuable skills and learn from feedback, advice and insights from industry insiders.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• The four-year placement route gives you the opportunity to spend your third year on an industry placement boosting your employment prospects on graduation.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Get hands-on with the latest digital design and fabrication technologies at our 3D additive and digital manufacturing centre, PrintCity.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• We’ve invested over £115 million to transform the way we teach and the way our students learn.
