Biomedical Engineering is an interdisciplinary course. It brings together experts from Chemical Engineering, Materials, Mechanical and Manufacturing, Electrical and Electronic Engineering. You will also benefit from the expertise in our internationally renowned School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences.

This course represents the latest knowledge in this rapidly developing discipline. Our National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine delivers world-class education, research and clinical services to benefit the health and well-being of the nation, from people at risk of ill health to elite athletes.

Since 2009, our Centre for Biological Engineering has successfully developed the interface between engineering, biology and medicine attracting over £20 million of external investment.

The University has invested heavily in teaching facilities with the £17 million STEMLab, 3,500 m2 of modern student-focused laboratory facilities. This is specifically reserved for teaching, including science and engineering laboratories, workshop and electronics facilities, and design and computer suites. This combined with the teaching facilities in West Park Teaching Hub, builds a dynamic and innovative engineering quarter of the university campus.

Bioengineering in action

Bioengineering approaches can directly impact human health through the development of prosthetics and biomedical implants, such as hip implants. Find out how you can learn the engineering behind these life-enhancing products as part of our course.

I really enjoyed the Control Engineering module in my second year, the lecturer was one of the best I’ve had and he made the course very enjoyable to learn. It was all very new to me, but I found it really interesting.
