Biomaterials Engineering, BEng (Hons)

Biomaterials Engineering, offered by Loughborough University's Department of Materials, leverages expertise in materials and bio-related fields. This interdisciplinary course covers the fundamentals of materials properties and engineering techniques, applying them to biomedical applications in health, sport, lifestyle, and regenerative medicine. Amid a globally ageing population, the field is poised for significant growth, encompassing material selection, manufacturing, testing, assembly, and environmental impacts.The programme delivers a balanced mix of theory and practical modules with industrial relevance. The BEng and MEng degrees share the first two years, featuring theory, application, and hands-on content. The MEng extends into advanced technical and management topics in years three and four, with transfers possible if criteria are met. Assessment includes coursework (approximately 40%), exams (60%), and evaluations like oral and poster presentations. For detailed modules, consult the course page on our website.
