Biomedical Engineering Meng (Hon)

Be inspired to help shape the future of healthcare technology on this flexible course. Beginning with a broad-based introduction to biomedical engineering, youll learn about biology, physiology and anatomy, and begin to understand how traditional engineering principles can be applied to the human body.<br/><br/>**Advance the field of sustainable healthcare technology with this flexible and well-established Biomedical Engineering MEng.**<br/><br/>Our expert academic team, composed of industry experts, clinicians and academics, has been teaching biomedical engineering at Sheffield for over a decade. They’ll show you how traditional engineering principles can be used to heal the human body, by integrating disciplines from across the field of engineering.<br/><br/>Tissue engineering, biotechnology, mechanics and robotics – we teach you how to use technology to give people a healthier and more fulfilling life.<br/><br/>By choosing to take an MEng, you’ll be taking a longer period of study with an integrated masters. Your first year gives an introduction to bioengineering, at the end of which you’ll begin to broadly tailor the course towards a specialism, by choosing one of the following four specialisms for the rest of the course:<br/><br/><br/>- Biomedical Engineering: use engineering principles to help safeguard and enhance human health.<br/><br/><br/>- Medical Devices and Systems: develop novel devices and improve clinical engineering systems.<br/><br/><br/>- Biomaterials Science and Tissue Engineering: apply materials engineering and cell biology principles to repair damaged body tissues and organs.<br/><br/><br/>- Biomanufacturing: apply chemical engineering and cell biology principles to the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and other biologically active substances.<br/><br/><br/>Because the MEng is a year longer than the BEng, you’ll have more opportunity to complete project work – sometimes in groups – tackling industrial problems and developing your management skills.<br/><br/>In the third year youll work on a group project, and in the final year youll complete a major piece of individual research related to your chosen specialism.<br/><br/>**Why study this course?**<br/>- **Top 5 for bioengineering and biomedical engineering** - as rated by The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024. Were also one of the longest-running biomedical engineering departments in the country.<br/><br/><br/>- **Unique, state-of-the-art facilities** - use unique biomedical spaces such as the Bio mammalian and Bio bacteria labs, along with the Microfabrication room, Electronics clean room and the Pilot Plant in the Diamond.<br/><br/><br/>- **Wide choice of specialisms** - from your second year you can choose between four specialisms: Biomedical Engineering, Medical Devices and Systems, Biomaterials Science and Tissue Engineering, or Biomanufacturing.<br/><br/><br/>- **Global Engineering Challenge** - join teams of students to solve engineering problems in developing countries – pushing you to develop you as a professional engineer and enhancing your career prospects.<br/>
