Overview

The Biomedical Engineering course from Ulster University draws upon the internationally recognised research within the School of Engineering in areas such as Tissue Engineering, Bioceramics, Medical Electrodes and Drug Delivery. The course team also has a wealth of industrial experience and several medical device spin out companies have been established by the school.

The course is based in internationally recognised NIBEC centre within the school which is the longest established Biomedical Research Centre in Ireland. The multi-million pound purpose-built facilities house some of the most sophisticated nano-fabrication, biological and characterisation equipment in the world. NIBEC is staffed by an internationally recognised and well experienced team of researchers and academics working predominantly at the interface of bioengineering and nanotechnology.

Career and Opportunities

Upon successful completion of the programme students will be more employable within the industry, or in an academic and/or research career through a PhD programme, such as those offered by the School through our Nanotechnology and Integrated Bioengineering Centre (NIBEC).
