Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Biomedical Engineering (H160)

In the BEng Biomedical Engineering course students will study with expert academics, develop transferable skills, and learn how to diagnose, prevent and treat disease in this new and emerging field. Curious about human physiology and have a keen understanding of mathematics? Learn how the brain works, what techniques exist to monitor different tissues in the human body and to diagnose, prevent and treat disease and restore bodily functions.

Engage in practical lab-based classes enhancing different practical skills and experience techniques such as immuno-fluorescent labelling, microscopy, DNA and protein analysis, EEG recordings, cell culture and aseptic technique and analytical methods.

The School of Biological Sciences has excellent relationships with a number of organizations in the world of biomedical engineering, including GSK and Microchip Ltd. At the end of the second year as a BEng student, students can undertake a one-year placement within the industry. This offers them the opportunity to gain valuable experience in the field while building a network of colleagues who may significantly aid them in their career.
