BEng (Hons) Biomedical Engineering

The Biomedical Engineering course at the University of Dundee is designed to equip students with the skills, knowledge, and level of understanding required to function in a modern Biomedical Engineering setting. This course combines aspects of traditional engineering with an expansive understanding of human anatomy and physiology, exposing students to a vast range of topics within the field.Course Content: The course is structured around a number of key modules in Biomedical Engineering, which are supported by study in fundamental Engineering principles. The content includes an emphasis on problem-solving, design and professional skills, and applied biomedical sciences. The course covers theoretical learning, practical work, industry field trips, guest lectures, problem-solving, and project work.Key Modules: These include "Introduction to Biomedical Engineering", "Cell Biology and Human Body Systems", "Mechanics of Human Motion", "Medical and Industrial Electronics", and "Biomaterials and Biophotonics". The final year includes a choice of advanced modules and a major project which can be carried out in collaboration with a hospital, industry, or a research institution.Accreditations: The BEng (Hons) degree in Biomedical Engineering is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).Future Careers: After graduation, students may use their degree in Biomedical Engineering to work in various areas like medical technology, biomaterials, biomechanics, and regulatory affairs in health services, pharmaceuticals, and the medical device industry. The degree can also form the basis for study towards a PhD in Biomedical Engineering or a related field.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page here.
