Join a new generation of engineers that understand the underlying principles of medical and healthcare technologies. You’ll gain the skills needed to design, develop and deliver products to patients, carers and clinicians.

With an ageing society and ongoing pressures on health and social care services, the demand for healthcare technology is increasing. Our BEng Biomedical Engineering (Mechanics and Materials) degree combines engineering and physical science fundamentals with medicine and healthcare, so you can graduate ready to meet this demand.

This programme has a strong focus on mechanical engineering, user interaction and needs. The technologies you develop will be for patients, carers, clinicians (doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists) and other stakeholders.
