Biomedical Engineering (with Foundation Year) FT BEng

We’ll support you to develop a broad knowledge of engineering, mathematics and science skills – everything you’ll need to succeed when you move on to BEng Biomedical Engineering. Biomedical engineering is a very diverse field which is also developing rapidly. To help you to become a bioengineer of the future, we work closely with industry to ensure you are as well-prepared as possible for a career in this exciting and rewarding industry.<br/><br/>If you want to change your direction at the end of your foundation year, that’s OK. The flexibility means that we can support you if you want to move on to one of our other engineering courses in your second year.<br/><br/>We’ll give you plenty of opportunities to get hands-on while developing skills to find solutions to current and future health issues. Live briefs, challenges from industry and placements all add up to give you a rounded learning experience employers want to see.<br/><br/>Our Biomedical Engineering courses are highly practical and use real examples and projects from industry and medicine. On this course you’ll look at current health issues and develop materials, processes and devices that help prevent or treat disease or rehabilitate patients. Areas of bioengineering covered on this course are biomaterials, bioinstrumentation, biomechanics, medical imaging, rehabilitation, and cellular, tissue, and genetic engineering.<br/><br/>With the focus firmly on problem-solving and live project work, we aim to give you three to four years of industry experience before you graduate. Who wouldn’t want that on their CV?<br/><br/>**Industry recognition**<br/>Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.<br/><br/>This course is recognised by CDIO, a framework that has a project based learning approach. This framework stresses engineering fundamentals set in the context of Conceiving — Designing — Implementing — Operating (CDIO) real-world systems and products. The framework is dedicated to providing students with their initial grounding in engineering through live projects.
