Biomedical Engineering (Hons) Loughborough University

Overview

The MEng  Biomedical Engineering (Hons)  degree from Loughborough University  draws from our expertise across several academic departments and will give you a thorough grounding in engineering systems and applications relevant to bioengineering, a sound understanding of human anatomy, physiology and biological functions and the ability to apply your knowledge and skills to bioengineering problems.

Key Facts

• The field is rapidly developing and bioengineers work in a wide variety of sectors globally, developing products and creating technology to help people achieve a better quality of life and break barriers in medical and sporting achievements. Examples include prosthetics and biomaterial implants, software engineering for advanced and 3D medical imaging, image-guided and robot assisted surgery, regenerative medicine against incurable diseases, tissue engineering such as bioengineered skin for wounds, 3D bioprinting, medical device development and new assistive technologies (wearable technology, mobile and e-health).
• At Loughborough, our course will take you from the fundamental science and engineering to the cutting-edge of the subject. During your time with us, you will have access to our state-of-the-art experimental labs to complement your lectures. In their third year, students will complete a research project on a specific topic of interest supervised by a member of academic staff.
