Our Biomedical Engineering degree provides a thorough grounding in engineering systems and applications relevant to biomedical engineering. You will also gain a sound understanding of human anatomy, physiology and biological functions and the ability to apply your knowledge and skills to bioengineering problems.

The field is rapidly developing. Biomedical engineers work in a variety of global sectors developing products and creating technology to help people achieve a better quality of life and break barriers in medical and sporting achievements.

Examples include prosthetics and biomaterial implants, software engineering for advanced and 3D medical imaging, image-guided and robot-assisted surgery, regenerative medicine against incurable diseases, tissue engineering such as bioengineered skin for wounds, 3D bioprinting, medical device development and new assistive technologies (wearable technology, mobile and e-health).

At Loughborough, this course will take you from fundamental science and engineering to the cutting-edge of the subject. During your time with us, you will have access to our state-of-the-art experimental labs to complement your lectures.

In year three, you will have the opportunity to complete a research project on a specific topic of interest supervised by a member of the academic staff.

The first three years of the MEng and BEng share the same content to ensure a thorough grounding in engineering and biological concepts, with a good mix of theory, application and practical content from day one. The MEng differs from the BEng course in the fourth year, when MEng students are required to study a wider range of technical subjects with additional depth. It is possible to transfer from a BEng to an MEng from the start of the course up to the end of the second year, providing that transfer progression criteria have been met.
