Bachelor of Engineering Biomedical Engineering (BEng)

Biomedical engineers are responsible for developing engineering solutions to help solve medical problems.

Our degree will enable you to be part of exciting product developments including robots to help the disabled walk, advanced prosthetics, machines for complex treatments, diagnostic equipment and artificial organs. You can also get involved in smart technologies and applying them to transmit data directly to clinics, minimising the need for patient travel.

Biomedical engineering is a dynamic and exciting area of growth and innovation, and one which will develop rapidly in the coming years.
The three-year BEng (Hons) will unlock your full potential as a creative problem solver. Our hands-on, practical problem-solving approach makes up 40-60% of each year of study so you can be a confident, work-ready engineer by the time you graduate. On completion of the BEng, you will be on track to become an Incorporated Engineer (IEng).

We are one of only a handful of universities in the UK to offer the CDIO international engineering education model, developed by MIT - Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which allows you to learn in a practical, hands-on way to find solutions to industry related engineering challenges.

This course equips you to be a practising professional graduate Biomedical Engineer. Biomedical engineering is a key area for growth in south-east England which presents exciting opportunities for graduates. You will be able to apply and develop technology to provide biomedical engineering solutions for the healthcare industry.

On the course you will be supported to develop your employability skills and job application skills to apply for placement opportunities. Placement opportunities in engineering often lead to opening doors to great potential engineering graduate employment opportunities with companies such as NHS, Burton Medical, Braun, Fielder Filter Systems, TwistDX, Futurenova, BMM Weston and many more.
