**Learn the skills to enter this exciting industry from experienced engineers and NHS clinicians in specialised facilities.**
Biomedical engineering at Hull builds on the success of the University’s engineering courses. You'll be taught by experienced engineering professionals and by NHS clinicians and clinical engineers from local hospitals.
- Accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM)
- Graduating provides a direct pathway to becoming a Chartered Engineer – a benchmark in the profession
- Engineering graduates have some of the best employment prospects and highest starting salaries of any degree discipline
Through a combination of virtual learning systems and traditional teaching, you'll develop the techniques to solve complex problems. You'll also learn practical dissection skills in the lab to gain a complete understanding of human anatomy and the medical engineering issues which may arise for surgeons.
Extend your studies with an industrial placement and an integrated masters year.
