Biomedical Engineering with Industrial Experience

3D printing human tissue, AI diagnosis, new implantable devices – the future of healthcare is being built here.

Problem solver? Technology lover? Fascinated by the world of medicine? Study biomedical engineering to help healthcare evolve, answer big questions about the human body and its functions and make a difference to people around the world.

Digital health, data science, biomaterials, clinical engineering, biomedical devices, tissue engineering… these are just a few of the areas you’ll examine. All of our modules are built with your employability in mind, to reflect the global challenges you’ll face as a future biomedical engineer.

Hub for healthcare innovation

Most of our academic team is based in the School of Engineering and Medical Science, but you’ll benefit from the expertise of Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry too. You’ll meet patients and clinicians, as well as professionals from medical device companies.

We’re at the forefront of areas such as predictive modelling, regenerative medicine and medical robotics. Some of our researchers are using 3D printing to make functional human tissue implants and organ-on-a-chip models for testing new medicines. Others are using machine learning models to predict the risk of preterm birth, or artificial intelligence to help make diagnoses.

By becoming part of our community, you’ll discover where you can make a difference.

Our Biomedical Engineering programmes have been accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers under license from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council.

An accredited degree will provide you with some or all of the underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills for eventual registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng).

Our BEng programmes partially meet the academic requirements for CEng registration. Our MEng programmes fully meet the academic requirements for CEng registration.
