Course Details

If you have a passion for making a difference in the quality of people's lives and contributing to the healthcare industry, our BEng (Hons) in Biomedical Engineering will help you fulfil your goals and reach your full potential. Incorporating elements of engineering, health, biology and rehabilitation, biomedical engineering is concerned with the design, development and technical support of medical equipment used by the healthcare industry. By studying for your with the University of Bolton, you can prepare for a career in this life-changing industry while experiencing life at our supportive, student-focused, multicultural campus.

This course provides a good grounding in biomedical engineering principles and related subjects like biomechanics, application of engineering materials and product design. Our collaboration with the University's specialists in human movement science allows us to offer opportunities for you to learn more about how biomedical engineering supports rehabilitation for a diverse population, from general public patients to professional athletes. Our expert team also aims to help you develop lifelong learning skills so that you can take ownership of your professional development for the future, maximising your potential for success.

We offer the chance to work with internationally recognised research teams, along with access to the latest technology and high-specification laboratory equipment and facilities, such as tissue engineering laboratories, control engineering, specialised computer-aided software, materials and additive manufacturing. You'll also benefit from varied teaching and interactive learning opportunities designed to help you develop and apply problem-solving, modelling and analytical skills based on theory and practice.
