Year in Industry option available alongside a Year Abroad.
Queen Mary University of London’s academic team, based in the School of Engineering and Medical Sciences, collaborates with Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry. Students will engage with patients, clinicians, and medical device professionals.
The university leads in areas like predictive modelling, regenerative medicine, and healthcare robotics, with researchers using 3D printing for tissue implants and organ-on-a-chip models, and AI for diagnoses and preterm birth predictions.
By joining the university, students will find opportunities to make a real impact.
The program is accredited by:
Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3)
Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM)
Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)
You can apply for the Biomedical Engineering BEng Industrial Experience, which allows you to spend a year on placement, gaining practical experience and building professional contacts.
The industrial experience year can be taken in Year 3 or Year 4 of the BEng program.
Industrial placements are highly competitive and are awarded based on your application, academic track record, and performance in the interview.
Pursue a career in medical device development, clinical engineering, biomechanics, biomaterials, rehabilitation engineering, or pharmaceutical technology.
Opportunities in industries such as healthcare, medical imaging, diagnostics, prosthetics, and wearable health technologies.
Further academic study through taught master's degrees (e.g., MSc Biomedical Engineering, MSc Medical Physics), research degrees (MPhil/PhD), or medical school entry for qualified candidates.
Potential to register as a Chartered Engineer (CEng) with an accredited MEng or appropriate combination of BEng and MSc, enhancing professional standing.
Entrepreneurial opportunities in health-tech startups or innovation hubs focused on biomedical solutions.
92% of Biomedical Engineering graduates were in work or further study 15 months after graduation (GOS 2020/21)
