• The university is the first in the UK, and one of the few in Europe, to offer sophisticated and robust computer simulation and laboratory testing facilities, the kinds that are used by large engineering and medical companies.
  • Throughout the course, students will develop theoretical and practical knowledge from a range of engineering, computational simulations, in vitro experiments, medical devices/medical science disciplines. As well as key engineering theories, they will gain an understanding of human health, and discover treatment simulation techniques that predict relative performances of implants, surgical techniques and medical devices such as joint contact mechanics.
  • the strong links with hospitals will give you the opportunity to witness surgical operations and work with surgeons to address clinical problems for their final-year projects.
  • As well as developing crucial problem-solving and critical thinking skills, they will gain unique practical laboratory and computer simulation skills, in addition to research experience. Most importantly, they will develop an awareness of the professional attitudes and attributes required for embarking on a multidisciplinary, varied and exciting career in healthcare and medical engineering.
