BEng Hons Biomedical Engineering

The BEng (Hons) Biomedical Engineering program at NTU is all about merging engineering know-how with biological and medical sciences to tackle health-related challenges in innovative ways. The curriculum is designed to focus on creating and developing materials, processes, and devices that help prevent or treat diseases and support patient rehabilitation. Students dive into key areas like biomaterials, bioinstrumentation, biomechanics, medical imaging, rehabilitation, and the fascinating fields of cellular, tissue, and genetic engineering. The course is a mix of lectures, hands-on practical sessions, workshops, and projects led by industry professionals.

NTU shines in the rankings, coming in at the Top 20 in the UK for General Engineering according to the Complete University Guide 2025, and 4th in the UK for General Engineering as per the Guardian University Guide 2024. This really highlights the program’s strong academic reputation.

• In Year 1, students get a solid grounding in the basics of engineering science, mathematics, anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and the chemistry of materials. The aim is to build a robust foundation in both engineering and biomedical principles.
• By Year 2, the focus shifts to digital systems, engineering modeling, industrial design, and tissue engineering. Students work on group projects, honing their skills through collaborative design efforts.
• In Year 3, students take on an independent project that allows them to explore a specific area of biomedical engineering. They also gear up for their future careers with practical, industry-focused projects.

Throughout the program, students gain valuable hands-on experience through workshops, labs, and partnerships with industry, ensuring they’re well-equipped for a successful career in biomedical engineering.

The program uses a variety of teaching methods to create a well-rounded learning experience, including lectures, seminars, practical sessions, workshops, and projects led by industry experts.
