Biomechanical engineering combines mechanical engineering fundamentals with biological systems to develop technology that improves healthcare and peoples quality of life. Mechanical engineering is concerned with the creative and imaginative use of principles and science to shape the world around us, through the development of new materials, technologies, processes and products.

Biomechanical engineering combines mechanical engineering fundamentals with biological systems to develop technology that improves healthcare and peoples quality of life. Mechanical engineering is concerned with the creative and imaginative use of principles and science to shape the world around us, through the development of new materials, technologies, processes and products. <br/><br/>Mechanical Engineers design and develop everything that moves or has moving parts, ranging from spacecraft and aeroplanes to racing cars, from household goods like refrigerators to the small motors that turn a DVD in a DVD player, from robotic control of machinery to nanotechnologies, from mechanical hearts and artificial limbs to fitness machines, and from oil and gas exploration and production technologies to wind turbines.<br/><br/>For the first 4 years of this five-year MEng programme, you will follow the BEng Mechanical Engineering curriculum, including the fundamental principles and concepts of mathematics, mechanics, materials and thermodynamics. In your fifth year, you will specialise further in biomaterials and biomechanics so that you can use your combined expertise and knowledge to design, develop and test healthcare equipment to solve medical and biological problems.

Good performance in additional Highers / Advanced Highers may be required. Note: we do not double count a Higher and Advanced Higher in the same subject, but we do consider that a B at Adv Higher is equivalent to an A grade at Higher. International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme34 34 Points including Mathematics and Physics at HL (6 or above) and English at Standard Level. Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016)DDD DDD with Mathematics and Physics required. GCSE at C or above in English or English Language, Mathematics and in either Chemistry or Physics or Dual Award Science. Note: BTEC in Applied Sciences is not normally sufficient on its own for entry into any of our Engineering programmes. Leaving Certificate - Higher Level (Ireland) (first awarded in 2017)H2,H2,H2,H2,H3 5 subjects at Higher, with 4 at H2 and 1 at H3 H2 or above in mathematics and H3 or above in Physics required. A levelA,B,B AB required in Mathematics and Physics or a B in Design and Technology or a B in Engineering. If applicant presents with B in Physics, Design and Technology or Engineering, Mathematics must be A grade. GCSE English at C. |
