Overview

Course description

This unique Biomedical Engineering program at University of Sheffield combines biomaterials, imaging and in silico medicine. It gives you the medical background, specialist knowledge, and theoretical and practical skills you’ll need to integrate biology and medicine with engineering and ultimately solve problems related to living systems.

You'll be introduced to the field of biomaterials, and important factors in the selection, design, and development of biomaterials for clinical applications.

You’ll also have the chance to explore the medical devices field and product design, together with their regulatory aspects. You’ll develop experimental skills in our world-class laboratories and advanced skills in modelling. These skills are useful for simulating the complexities of the human body and for more traditional engineering contexts.

You can tailor the course to suit your interests and research project. Through optional modules and an in-depth research project you’ll have a variety of ways to explore your area of interest. Optional modules range from biomechanics to the use of virtual reality and 3D visualisation approaches.

Careers

You'll have the opportunity to work as a clinical engineer or as a research and development engineer in the biomedical engineering industrial sector.

The breadth of skills you’ll acquire also gives you the opportunity to flourish in a more traditional engineering environment. For example, you could become a consultant engineer or you could follow a research pathway and continue to study on a PhD.
