Course summary

You'll spend a year working in an engineering, medical or healthcare company. This real-world experience gives you a competitive advantage in the jobs market once you graduate. Advance the field of sustainable healthcare technology with this flexible and well-established Biomedical Engineering MEng. Our team of industry experts and academics has been teaching at Sheffield for over a decade. They’ll demonstrate how disciplines from across the field of engineering can be used to heal the human body. We teach you how to give people a healthier and more fulfilling life, using technology like tissue engineering, biotechnology, and robotics. Your first year gives an introduction to bioengineering, then you’ll choose a specialism for the rest of the course:

• Biomedical Engineering: use engineering principles to safeguard and enhance human health.

• Medical Devices and Systems: develop novel devices and improve clinical engineering systems.

• Biomaterials Science and Tissue Engineering: applying materials engineering and cell biology principles to repair damaged body tissues and organs.

• Biomanufacturing: apply chemical engineering and cell biology principles to the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and biologically active substances.

• Top 5 for bioengineering and biomedical engineering in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide - and one of the longest-running biomedical engineering departments in the country.

• Unique, state-of-the-art facilities - use unique biomedical spaces such as the bio mammalian and bio bacteria labs, along with the Microfabrication room, Electronics clean room and the Pilot Plant in The Diamond.

• Wide choice of specialisms - from your second year, you can choose between four specialisms: Biomedical Engineering, Medical Devices and Systems, Biomaterials Science and Tissue Engineering, or Biomanufacturing.

• Global Engineering Challenge - join teams of students to solve engineering problems in developing countries – pushing you to develop you as a professional engineer and enhancing your career prospects.
