Biomaterials Engineering, MEng (Hons)

Biomaterials Engineering, offered by Loughborough University's Department of Materials, leverages the institution's expertise in materials and bio-related fields. This interdisciplinary course covers the fundamentals of materials properties and engineering methods, applying them to biomedical applications in health, sport, lifestyle, and regenerative medicine. With a growing global ageing population, the field of biomaterials and medical devices is expanding rapidly, drawing on insights from the School of Sports, Exercise and Health Sciences and the Department of Chemical Engineering.The programme delivers a comprehensive curriculum encompassing materials selection, manufacturing, testing, assembly, and environmental impact, balancing theoretical knowledge with practical, industry-relevant skills. The BEng and MEng degrees share the same content for the first two years, featuring a mix of theory, application, and practical elements. The MEng extends into advanced technical and management topics in years three and four, with options to transfer between programmes if criteria are met. Assessment combines coursework and exams (approximately 60/40 ratio), plus oral and poster presentations for design and project modules. For detailed modules, refer to the course page.
