Biomedical Engineering, MEng (Hons), with study abroad

Biomedical Engineering integrates engineering principles with medical applications to advance healthcare technologies and personalized medicine. This program combines engineering and medical sciences to develop future biomedical professionals, focusing on three key themes: biomechanics and materials for creating strong, biocompatible substances; instrumentation for advanced diagnostics and treatments; and bioprocesses involving the body's physical and chemical functions. Students gain practical skills in anatomy, physiology, and problem-solving, preparing for careers in medical device design and manufacturing, with opportunities to pursue Chartered Engineer status.The course leverages cutting-edge research from Swansea University's College of Engineering and Medical School, including the £22 million Centre for NanoHealth. It is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine, meeting academic standards for Incorporated Engineer registration and partially for Chartered Engineer. Options include a Year in Industry or Abroad to enhance employability. We guarantee conditional offers, subject to requirements; explore more at open days or via our website.
