BEng (Hons) Biomedical Engineering at University of Surrey

Programme overview

From developing new ways to diagnose disease, to learning about rehabilitation, prosthetics and implants, biomedical engineering unites engineering with medicine. On our BEng and MEng Biomedical Engineering degrees you'll apply engineering principles to solve problems in medicine and biology.

Department: School of Engineering | Duration: 3 years full-time; 4 years with placement year | Study mode: full-time (optional placement year) | Intake: September 2027 (UCAS HB38) | Location: Guildford, England, United Kingdom

What you will study

With a strong focus on clinical applications, our biomedical engineering courses explore a broad curriculum. This includes human movement, biosensors, prosthesis design, biomedical signal processing and implant technology, among other topics. You can apply to study for either a BEng or Meng. Year 1 core modules include Fluid Mechanics & Thermodynamics 1, Design & Component Production, Materials: Properties & Performance, Engineering Mathematics, Experimental and Professional Skills, Electronic Circuits and Devices, Mechanics, Mathematics 2.

Career pathways

Biomedical engineers can work in a number of areas, including as clinical scientists in the NHS, in rehabilitation, as designers of medical equipment, or even in sports science or biomechanics. A significant number of students go on to further their studies with postgraduate qualifications in biomedical engineering and related disciplines.
