Mechanical Engineering / Biomedical Engineering, MEng (Hons)

This integrated Master's degree combines mechanical engineering with biological and medical aspects of healthcare technologies. The first two years cover foundational principles of mechanical engineering, including law, management, systems design, modelling, and computing, to guide products from concept to market. In years three and four, students focus on human body mechanics, medical technologies, and human factors, undertaking an individual project in year three and a group design project in year four, alongside advanced modules.Students access state-of-the-art facilities, such as the UK's largest wind tunnel and a high-resolution 3D imaging centre. The course is fully accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, offering a pathway to chartered status. Assessment includes written exams, coursework, laboratory reports, essays, and projects, with modules spanning engineering design, biomaterials, and computational methods in biomedical engineering.

Typical modules include: Year one: An Introduction to Engineering Design; Electrical and Electronics Systems; Mathematics for Engineering and the Environment; Mechanics, Structures and Materials; Mechanical Systems Analysis; ThermoFluids. Year two: Engineering Management and Law; Fluid Mechanics; Materials and Structures; Mathematics for Engineering and the Environment Part II; Mechanics, Machines and Vibration; Systems Design and Computing; Thermodynamics; Electronics and Control. Year three: Individual Project; Biomaterials; Engineering Design with Management; Finite Element Analysis in Solid Mechanics; Heat Transfer and Applications; Introduction to Biomedical Engineering; and Orthopaedic Biomechanics. Year four: Group Design Project; Biological Materials and Biomedical Devices; Computational Methods in Biomedical Engineering Design; Manufacturing and Materials; Materials, Manufacturing, and Supply Chains; plus module options to deepen your knowledge.
