Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Imperial

Overview

The Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering degree at Imperial can open the door to careers in a wide variety of sectors from chemicals manufacturing and pharmaceuticals to technical management and scientific research and development (R&D). There are lots of emerging sectors to think about too, such as nanotechnology, biomedical materials, high performance textiles and composites.

Quick Facts:

• Many of the technological advances that have transformed our lives are founded in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE). Modern life would be impossible without the thousands of manufactured items we use every day, from the clothes we wear, to our phones, cars, computers and the buildings we inhabit, as well as more advanced and life-changing technologies like biomedical devices or satellite communications.
• The motivation to invent or improve materials comes from our need to solve real societal problems, in fields such as healthcare, energy, environmental sustainability and transport. New opportunities are growing in areas such as biomedical engineering, 3D printing, robotics and quantum computing.
• Our courses engage you in both the scientific and engineering aspects of the discipline. You will learn about the processing, structure, properties and performance of materials and much more.
• All of our undergraduate courses follow a core series of modules. These will provide you with a strong base of theoretical principles.

Recent graduates of the Department have become:

• Graduate Engineer, Multinational automotive company

• Software Development Engineer, Amazon

• Management Consultant, EY

• Material Scientist, Rolls-Royce

• Quality Excellence Engineer, Johnson & Johnson
