BEng Medical Engineering

Medical engineering is all about blending engineering principles with medical knowledge to create cutting-edge healthcare solutions. This can range from designing medical devices and implants to developing diagnostic tools and rehabilitation technologies.

• At Leeds, you'll kick off your journey with a solid grounding in mechanical engineering during the first two years. After that, you can dive into specializations like biomedical design, imaging, and materials specifically for medical applications.
• The course is packed with hands-on lab work, design projects, and in your final year, you'll tackle an individual research project aimed at addressing real-world healthcare issues.

You'll get to roll up your sleeves and gain practical experience with tools like MATLAB and CAD, all while enjoying access to top-notch facilities. Plus, the teaching is closely linked with the Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering, ensuring that what you learn is in tune with the latest industry trends.

If you're looking for more experience, there's an option to take a year-long industrial placement or study abroad between your second and third years.

You'll be assessed through a mix of exams, coursework, lab reports, and group projects, which will help you develop not just your technical skills but also those all-important transferable skills for careers in medical technology, research, or further studies.
