There is an increasing demand for more advanced and effective medical devices and therapies due to an ageing population and our increasingly demanding lifestyles. In order to meet these challenges the need for professional biomedical engineers with the right skills and competencies has never been greater. The biomedical engineering course aims to provide students with a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the core technical, professional and ethical principles that underpin this area. It is a challenging course, multidisciplinary in nature and equips graduates with the skills needed for a career in this ever-expanding sector. Likewise, it provides a solid platform to undertake further study programs in this area. As well as providing the student with all necessary competencies to gain successful employment (or further study opportunities) after graduating, the staff delivering the course put a lot of emphasis on looking after the students when they are at University. This includes both good academic support and pastoral care which is equally important to ensure each student reaches their full potential. This course has been designed with the aid of biomedical industrialists to address the needs of industry and the research community. The MEng and BEng Hons Biomedical Engineering courses are taught and assessed in common over the first two years. The third year of each programme is spent on compulsory placement – and successful completion of the Placement year leads to a Diploma in Professional Practice (DPP) which is awarded at Graduation. The BEng Hons students have one additional year of study whereas the MEng students have two additional years of study.
