Course Overview
Medical Engineering applies engineering principles to the human body, in pursuit of an advanced and personalised style of future healthcare.
Combining engineering with the instrumentation used in modern medicine promises to generate important new technologies which touch and extend all our lifetimes. You can be at the heart of it.
Our degrees prepares you for a rewarding career across a range of sectors. You will gain core engineering skills while learning about anatomy, physiology and communication with clinicians.
As you progress, your developing analytical and problem-solving abilities will combine with hands-on experience of industrial medical devices and instruments, establishing skills that are vital to employment in the wider industry.
This programme is a Master of Engineering (MEng), which will provide you with training and skills in the design and innovation of tomorrow’s medical technologies based on engineering principles, and a route to becoming a Professional, Chartered Engineer. If you are looking for a Bachelor of Science (BSc) programme, with a focus on clinical and practical aspects of medical engineering within the NHS, which provides a route to becoming a Healthcare Practitioner, please see our BSc Healthcare Sciences (Medical Engineering).
