Clinical Technology (with a placement year)

Develop the skills you need for a career as a clinical technologist, capable of applying your knowledge to assist in the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of patients. You will learn:

*To design and manufacture medical equipment
*Tissue engineering and wound repair for making artificial organs
*Application, repair and maintenance of medical devices
*To carry out physiological measurements, such as ECG, EMG, BMI, spirometry and skin analysis

You will specialise in three areas - renal technology (dialysis), rehabilitation engineering (prosthetics / orthotics), and medical technology/engineering.

Technological innovation in the field of medicine and healthcare is accelerating at an enormous pace. The modern hospital is now the centre of a technologically sophisticated healthcare system, and this requires equally technologically sophisticated staff. This mean you’ll be highly employable as a graduate.

A placement year in industry, taken in year three of the programme, enables you to build contacts whilst developing your skills and professional confidence.
