BEng Biomedical Engineering

OnCampus Southampton

Combine biomedicine, electronics and digital health as you join the next generation of health technology engineers. You’ll learn the underlying principles of medical technologies and gain the ability to design, develop and deliver new products.

With all economies facing an increase in health spending, engineers and computer scientists have an ever-increasing role to play in inventing solutions for healthcare and treatment. Biomedical engineers work to bridge this gap.

On this 3-year programme you’ll have the opportunity to:

• solve healthcare challenges and help to create imaging systems and devices for observing and controlling body functions
• design, and create electronic circuits, systems, and computer software
• use simulation, design, and verification tools to aid in the design of systems, and to report and comment on results
• make use of our diverse range of modern laboratories and facilities, each filled with industry-standard equipment
• understand the specific clinical, safety and ethical implications of biomedical engineering work, and routes to commercialization
