Discover the Innovative Spirit of Canterbury Christ Church University

Canterbury Christ Church University is an ideal place to study biomedical engineering due to its strong research focus and commitment to innovation. Our location in Canterbury provides easy access to a range of healthcare facilities and organizations, offering students valuable opportunities for practical experience and networking. Plus, our beautiful campus offers a peaceful and supportive learning environment.

Our degree will enable you to be part of exciting product developments including robots to help the disabled walk, advanced prosthetics, machines for complex treatments, diagnostic equipment, and artificial organs. You can also get involved in smart technologies and apply them to transmit data directly to clinics, minimizing the need for patient travel. Emergency situations can also be caught early and prevent a decline in patient health. You will be able to demonstrate leadership, management, and critical analysis in the application of your knowledge. Biomedical engineering is a dynamic and exciting area of growth and innovation, and one which will develop rapidly in the coming years.

The course is designed based on CDIO (Conceive Design Implement Operate) methodology where students will interact with industry from the first year through industry-oriented real-time projects.

Biomedical Engineering is one of the fastest-growing industries with some of the highest starting salaries. There are many opportunities to practice as a biomedical engineer, for example:

Designing, implementing, and maintaining bio-instruments and bio-equipment to aid diagnose and treat diseases.

Designing and developing materials for implantation in the human body, which therefore need to be chemically inert, safe, and reliable

Working with innovators, medics, and computing professionals to engineer smart technology gadgets that interface with smartphones to provide alternative medical interventions to support or relieve medical symptoms of a patient

Designing and developing hygienic surgery aids that enable high precision and timely surgery.
