Graduates from this programme are well-positioned to step into vital roles within hospitals, research facilities, and global medical device companies, with many securing employment offers prior to graduation. The curriculum is designed for students who thrive in hands-on environments and seek to impact the rapidly growing medical technology sector, which is currently valued at over £300 billion.

The programme offers a blend of virtual learning and traditional classroom teaching, grounded in practical application. You will gain experience with advanced medical technologies such as endoscopy and ultrasound, and develop the technical proficiency to test biomaterials, prosthetics, and orthotics. A distinctive feature of this degree is the integration of clinical practice: students engage in real-world hospital visits and gain practical dissection skills to better understand human anatomy and the engineering challenges faced by surgeons. The course also provides direct pathways to Chartered Engineer status, with flexible options to pursue an integrated Masters (MEng) or a placement year to bolster your professional CV.

State-of-the-art facilities

Students benefit from significant investment in specialised engineering laboratories, including a £1.5m biomechanics facility, the Swift Additive Manufacturing Space featuring industry-standard 3D printers and laser scanners, and the Health and Human Performance Lab. Learning is delivered by a combination of experienced engineering professionals and active NHS clinicians, ensuring that the theoretical knowledge you acquire is always tested against current medical practice.
