Apply professional engineering knowledge to understand, modify and control biological systems on this BEng (Hons) Biomedical Engineering degree.
You’ll study disciplines such as:
- Rehabilitation engineering – prosthetic / orthotic devices
- Biomaterials and implant design
- Tissue engineering and wound repair for artificial organs
- Genomic coding and genetic engineering
- Medical technology – design and manufacturing
All teaching is informed by the latest research and is delivered by experienced medical engineers and clinical scientists. You’ll also gain professional insight from leading industry partners and hands-on practical experience in our state-of-the-art engineering laboratories.
Depending on your level of progress, transfer to our integrated Master's degree is possible at the end of either your first or second year. The MEng programme comprises an extra fourth academic year of more in-depth study, and can be taken with or without a placement year in industry.

Course Details – Assessment Method
Most modules use a mixture of formal lectures, practical lab sessions, tutorials and seminars. Some modules involve supervised group work, usually with an assigned academic staff member for each group. All modules require students to undertake independent study, supported through distance learning technologies such as our Virtual Learning Environment. Reading lists and suggested resources for independent study provide further direction for students to undertake this work, and regular contact hours and informal feedback throughout the courses provide opportunities for further guidance for learners. Assessments for modules mostly take the form of practical coursework, lab tests and written exams, with all forms being well represented throughout all years of the course across all modules.
