Gain expertise in areas such as biomaterials, human biomechanics and medical imaging, learning from leading experts. Tailor your learning to your interests with elective modules and prepare for a career in biomedical engineering through close collaboration with clinicians and the med-tech sector.

Biomedical engineering (or bioengineering) is a multidisciplinary field that combines biology and engineering, and which allows you to apply engineering principles to medicine and healthcare.

This unique course 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. 

We'll introduce you 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’ll be taught by world-leading scientists. We work closely with specialist research centres at the University of Sheffield, including Insigneo and POLARIS, along with research groups focusing on advances in biomaterials, biomedical engineering and health technologies. This means you’ll be positioned at the forefront of biomedical innovation and become part of a community of professionals in the field while you study.

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.
