Develop the next generation of healthcare technologies. You’ll design, build and test innovative new treatment methods and work to bridge the gap between engineering and medicine.

With an ageing society and ongoing pressures on health and social care services, the demand for healthcare technology is increasing. Our MEng Biomedical Engineering (Mechanics and Materials) degree combines engineering and physical science fundamentals with medicine and healthcare, so you can graduate ready to meet this demand.

Our biomedical engineering offerings have a strong focus on mechanical engineering, user interaction and needs. The technologies you develop will help support patients, carers and clinicians in enabling longer, healthier and happier lives.

• design assistive technologies, as well as systems for diagnosis, treatment and for monitoring patients
• undertake design-build-test projects in years 1 and 2, an individual project in year 3, and a group design project in year 4
• use outstanding research facilities, including mechanical, electronics, biomechanics, bioengineering labs and human factors facilities
• understand clinical, safety and ethical implications of medical engineering work, and routes to commercialisation
• interact with industry through work placements, external speakers, industrial visits, and industrial design projects
• become familiar with specialist modelling software and modern measurement and test equipment

You’ll be taught by world experts in their field and undertake a variety of design tasks, projects, and group activities to prepare you for a professional engineering career.

This MEng programme is also available with an industrial placement year.
