<br/>- Do you want to build technology to help people overcome life-changing injuries and health conditions? <br/><br/><br/>- Do you want to be part of a rapidly growing field that is at the forefront of innovative healthcare solutions?<br/><br/><br/>Thats Biomedical Engineering, transforming healthcare through customised medical devices, prosthetics, and even organs to improve people’s lives. <br/><br/>This BEng in Biomedical Engineering provides a comprehensive education in engineering technology combined with deeper understanding of human biology to enable you to build innovative rehabilitation technology and medical devices. <br/><br/>You will work alongside researchers at the leading edge of biomedical engineering to solve key problems and barriers to innovative healthcare technology.<br/><br/>We also have a with-industry variant for a one-year placement in a MedTech/HealthTech company or hospital/clinic.<br/><br/>In Year 1 you will learn diverse core engineering technology skills to support you through the programmes: from mechanical engineering, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, engineering mathematics and programming, through to electrical engineering, digital electronics and communications. In parallel you will have the opportunity to explore human anatomy and physiology with biomedical engineering laboratories. <br/><br/>In Year 2 you will begin learning about medical technology and rehabilitation devices and how innovators get these to market. You will further your understanding engineering maths for system modelling and build expertise materials, bio-materials, control, mechatronics and embedded systems.<br/><br/>In Year 3 you will focus on latest technologies for wearable devices and prosthetics, covering machine learning algorithms for data analysis and biomechanics all of which are essential to building innovative healthcare <br/><br/>Whats the difference?<br/>Each of our Engineering subjects is available in six forms:<br/><br/>BEng (3 years), BEng with Industry (4 years), BEng with Year Abroad (4 years)<br/>MEng (4 years), MEng with Industry (5 years), MEng with Year Abroad (5 years)<br/>The MEng places greater emphasis on industrially-related project work, advanced technical content and leadership. The MEng shares its first three years with the corresponding BEng.
