Medical Engineering (Industrial) University of Leeds

Overview

The Medical Engineering (Industrial) programme offered by University of Leeds considers that whether designing high-tech operating theatres, biomaterials, medical wearables or implant technologies, medical engineers play a crucial part in designing the healthcare solutions of the future. A wide range of skills is needed to successfully design and manufacture the healthcare technologies we need in an efficient, environmentally friendly and sustainable way, while meeting the demands and challenges of the modern world.

As the branch of engineering that involves the design, production, and operation of medical devices and technology, medical engineers must be able to combine engineering physics and mathematics principles with medicine.
