This course has been developed to meet the needs of the healthcare sector and the medical industry in the UK and internationally. It is specifically designed to increase the employability of its graduates in an engineering and technological context by identifying new medical product opportunities and by conducting projects in collaboration with a range of relevant partners.

Medical Engineering is user-focused, taking a multidisciplinary approach and building on strong relationships with industry and the health sector. The course aims to provide students with live engineering and design experience and the tools to drive forward process, material and critical thinking in the commercial world.

Students will benefit from the internationally recognized research activities in the engineering subject area which have been supported by grants from a variety of funding organizations. The engineering team has been involved with numerous international collaborative projects, and closely works with industry and the healthcare sector on different research and development schemes.

Students will get direct industrial experience of the newest developments in the field through collaboration with Nottingham Trent University's Medical Technologies Innovation Facility (MTIF), start-up companies, the Medical Engineering Design team, and the SWIFT research group.

Students will work with the surgical and clinical community on live project briefs as part of a substantial existing network between Nottingham Trent University and their relevant partners. These links that Nottingham Trent University has in the medical industry means that students could collaborate and undertake a project with them.

Please be advised that this course includes a sandwich year in which students undertake a professional placement.
