Biomedical Engineering University of Hull

Overview

With first-hand experience of medical device development, we’ll mentor you as you implement your ideas. We’ll take you through every step of the process. From concept design and material selection, through to analysis and optimisation, and regulatory approval.

Through the Biomedical Engineering programme at the University of Hull , you’ll enhance your lab skills, carrying out physical testing on biomaterials and learning industry-standard techniques in medical image analysis and processing for modelling purposes. Build your research skills though a project of your choice. And consider sustainable approaches in creating solutions, along with cultural, equality, and health and safety responsibilities.

Our biomedical engineering research aims to solve clinical challenges and reaches industry standards with our ISO accreditation. The broad expertise of our research-active lecturers informs our teaching and stretches across the medical engineering spectrum - from macro level to micro scale. Our strong relationships with industry give you opportunities to work on real-world research and hear from guest speakers in the sector.

You’ll graduate with the skills to succeed in the biomedical industry – a sector that’s worth hundreds of billions of pounds globally.

Future prospects

• The medical engineering field is so broad that you can go on to a range of different careers in industry or academia.

• You could go onto a PhD. Or work for medical device companies, regulatory bodies and consultancy companies. Potential future roles include design engineer, regulatory associate, academic researcher and clinical scientist.

• You’ll also be graduating from a course with multiple accreditations including the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM). This programme meets, in part, the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
