Course Overview

We’ll support you to develop a broad knowledge of engineering, mathematics, and science skills – everything you’ll need to succeed when you move on to BEng Biomedical Engineering. Biomedical engineering is a very diverse field which is also developing rapidly. To help you become a bioengineer of the future, we work closely with the industry to ensure you are as well-prepared as possible for a career in this exciting and rewarding industry.

If you want to change your direction at the end of your foundation year, that’s OK. The flexibility means that we can support you if you want to move on to one of our other engineering courses in your second year.

We’ll give you plenty of opportunities to get hands-on while developing skills to find solutions to current and future health issues. Live briefs, challenges from the industry, and placements all add up to give you a rounded learning experience that employers want to see.

Our Biomedical Engineering courses are highly practical and use real examples and projects from industry and medicine. In this course, you’ll look at current health issues and develop materials, processes, and devices that help prevent or treat disease or rehabilitate patients. Areas of bioengineering covered in this course are biomaterials, bio instrumentation, biomechanics, medical imaging, rehabilitation, and cellular, tissue, and genetic engineering.
