Course summary
3D printing human tissue, AI diagnosis, new implantable devices – the future of healthcare is being built here. Problem solver? Technology lover? Fascinated by the world of medicine? Study biomedical engineering to help healthcare evolve, answer big questions about the human body and its functions and make a difference to people around the world. Digital health, data science, biomaterials, clinical engineering, biomedical devices, tissue engineering… these are just a few of the areas you’ll examine. All of our modules are built with your employability in mind, to reflect the global challenges you’ll face as a future biomedical engineer. Hub for vital research Most of our academic team is based in the School of Engineering and Medical Science, but you’ll benefit from the expertise of Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry too. You’ll meet patients and clinicians, as well as professionals from medical device companies. We’re at the forefront of areas such as predictive modelling, regenerative medicine and healthcare robotics. Some of our researchers are using 3D printing to make functional human tissue implants and organ-on-a-chip models for testing new medicines. Others are using machine learning models to predict the risk of preterm birth, or artificial intelligence to help make diagnoses. By becoming part of our community, you’ll discover where you can make a difference. Our Biomedical Engineering programmes have been accredited by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) under license from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council. Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). An accredited degree will provide you with some or all of the underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills for eventual registration as an Incorporated (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng). Our BEng programmes meet the academic requirements for IEng and our MEng programmes meet the academic requirements for CEng. Some employers recruit preferentially from accredited degrees, and an accredited degree is likely to be recognised by other countries that are signatories to international accords.
