Beng Medical Engineering

The Medical Engineering degree (BEng) at the University of Southampton is a three-year full-time course that equips students with the practical and theoretical knowledge needed to design life-changing medical devices, from complex equipment to basic instruments. The course emphasizes the development of critical thinking skills through a blend of traditional teaching approaches and hands-on experiences. Course Content: This degree program combines comprehensive classes in engineering, medicine and biology. In the first and second years, students are introduced to key material in mathematics and core engineering disciplines, alongside modules specific to medical engineering. In the final year, students work on a group design project, providing practical training in research, design, and project management.Key Modules: The course comprises of modules like Electrical Engineering, Biomechanics and Biomaterials, Applied Anatomy and Physiology, Medical Imaging, and Sensors and Instrumentation. It also includes a year-long Group Design Project in the final year.Accreditations: The Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) in Medical Engineering is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), and the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM).Future Careers: This course prepares students for a future in medical technology companies, hospitals, and research facilities. Graduates are equipped with relevant skills for roles in clinical engineering, medical technology sales, and research and development. Some graduates also go on to further study.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
