Combine biomedicine, electronics and digital health as you join the next generation of health technology engineers. You’ll learn the underlying principles of medical technologies and gain the ability to design, develop and deliver new products.

With all economies facing an increase in health spending, engineers and computer scientists have an ever-increasing role to play in inventing solutions for healthcare and treatment. Biomedical engineers work to bridge this gap.

On this 3-year programme you’ll have the opportunity to:

You can also tailor your degree to your liking by picking a pathway. These include:

Electronic Systems

You’ll learn to develop engineering solutions to health and healthcare problems, ranging from rehabilitation technologies and implantable sensors to smart signal analysis for wearable healthcare and rapid testing and diagnostic devices.

You will gain key insight into how to design and develop a wide range of systems, from underlying sensor technology to signal analysis and data interpretation.

Mechatronics for Health

You’ll learn the fundamental science, methods, analysis, and engineering applications to start a career in mechatronic engineering with a focus on medical technology and robotics.

You’ll have the opportunity to design and build intelligent machines and robots as part of your study, which integrate electrical, mechanical and control systems to perform complex tasks.

Digital Health

You'll learn to develop m-health and e-health solutions based on healthcare needs and available technology. You will gain key data science skills that allow you to analyse data, build solutions and communicate results.

As one of the few universities in the UK (United Kingdom) to have a Digital Health research group, you will be taught by academics actively involved in technologies in this area.

Artificial Intelligence

You’ll additionally learn to design and build AI (Artificial Intelligence) programs and systems to solve global healthcare challenges and integrate with Biomedical engineering solutions.

As a highly respected hub for AI research, you'll benefit from a range of specialist modules that few UK universities can match. You’ll also be taught by academics actively involved in the latest advances in AI.
