Course summary
Biomedical Engineering applies engineering principles to the human body and a broad range of instrumentation used in modern medicine. The subject combines engineering and medicine to produce the next generation of biomedical engineers. With strong industry links the department is developing new technologies and making advances for the future of personalised health care. Our Biomedical Engineering degrees have three themes:
- Biomechanics and materials – the development and analysis of materials for strength and biocompatibility
- Instrumentation – advanced diagnostic and therapeutic techniques
- Bioprocesses – physical and chemical processes in the human body
- Electrical engineering instruments to build and test medical devices
- Biomechanical modelling to optimise implant technologies
- Process engineering equipment for pharmaceutical production
