Mechanical Engineering / Biomedical Engineering, MEng (Hons), with industry placement

This integrated Master's degree combines mechanical engineering with biological and medical aspects of healthcare technologies. The initial 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 delve into human body mechanics, medical technologies, and human factors, undertaking an individual project in year three and advanced modules with a group design project in year four. An optional industrial placement year provides paid, real-world experience to enhance employability and professional skills.The program includes typical modules such as introductory engineering design, fluid mechanics, biomaterials, and computational methods in biomedical engineering. Assessment involves unseen examinations, coursework like laboratory reports and essays, and projects, with the placement year evaluated through a reflective report. Courses are accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Engineering Council, and EUR-ACE, offering a pathway to chartered status.
