BEng (Hons) Bioengineering

Bioengineering is the application of engineering practices and principles to analyze and design new processes, tools, and techniques to bridge gaps across biological and healthcare challenges. It applies fundamental engineering principles to the innovation and design of new products and processes and plays an integral role in global issues where the challenge or solution is biological.

Our Bioengineering degree draws from our expertise across several academic departments and will give you a thorough grounding in engineering systems and applications relevant to bioengineering. You will also gain a sound understanding of human anatomy, physiology, and biological functions and the ability to apply your knowledge and skills to bioengineering problems.

The field is rapidly developing, and bioengineers work in various sectors globally, setting products and creating technology to help people achieve a better quality of life and break barriers in medical and sporting achievements. Examples include prosthetics and biomaterial implants, software engineering for advanced and 3D medical imaging, image-guided and robot-assisted surgery, regenerative medicine against incurable diseases, tissue engineering such as bioengineered skin for wounds, 3D bioprinting, medical device development and new assistive technologies (wearable technology, mobile, and e-health).

At Loughborough, our course will take you from fundamental science and engineering to cutting-edge subjects. You will have access to our state-of-the-art experimental labs to complement your lectures during your time with us. In year three, students will complete a research project on a specific topic of interest supervised by a member of the academic staff.
