Bachelor of Engineering - Medical Engineering (BH99) (Sandwich Year)

This accredited course provides the knowledge, skills and hands-on experience students need to become a work-ready medical engineer. Students will choose from a range of authentic engineering problems and industry-focused scenarios, to work on both individually and with student engineers from other disciplines. Group work mirrors the relationships of an engineering team and will help them to build professional skills, such as teamwork and communication. The open access makerspace provides a place for students to design, create and collaborate.

Students will have the opportunity to engage with professionals from healthcare providers such as the Cardiff and Vale Orthopedic Centre, and will benefit from links with companies like Biomet, Simple ware and Arthritis Research UK.

Additionally, students will have the chance to complete a salaried placement working in a location of their choosing, including outside of the UK. This is a great way to experience a professional working environment and put the skills that they have to learned into practice. In the past, students have completed placements at P&G, Johnson & Johnson and the NHS.
