Biomedical engineering is a multidisciplinary field that combines biology and engineering, applying engineering principles and materials to medicine and healthcare. From developing and improving new machinery, such as robotic surgery equipment, to creating better and more reliable replacement limbs, the work of biomedical engineers is helping to pave the way for new methods of treating injuries and diseases. This research-informed programme aims to develop industry-ready graduates with product design and innovative sense who are highly skilled and creative biomedical engineers, able to adapt to new challenges and deliver sustainable solutions for modern society.

Business and research environments need engineers who can design complete solutions involving complex integrated systems. Biomedical Engineering at Kent educates engineers who can develop systems used in medical practice and biology research.

Apply professional engineering knowledge to understand, modify and control biological systems in this 3-year BEng (Hons) Biomedical Engineering degree. All teaching is informed by the latest research and is delivered by experienced medical engineers and clinical scientists.  You’ll also gain professional insight from leading industry partners, and hands-on practical experience in our state-of-the-art engineering laboratories.

The Programme provides in-depth training in this branch of biomedical science, including stem cell biology, biomaterials and tissue/organ engineering. The MSc Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine offers a balanced combination of theory and practice; and can serve either as preparation for a PhD or as a self-contained master’s qualification.

Biopharmaceutical Engineering products are highly important in today’s global healthcare systems in treating illnesses and diseases. The industry in the British Isles has seen significant investment, particularly in the Republic of Ireland (RoI) where there has been capital investment of approximately £7.97 billion in new facilities, mostly in the last 10 years.

BEng Medical engineers are competent classical engineers who apply engineering principles to the development of medical treatments, applications or diagnostic technologies that can enhance and save lives. They work in fields with medical applications, such as clinical instrumentation and devices, bioengineering, and clinical engineering, as well as engineering fields outside of medicine. This accredited course provides the knowledge, skills and hands-on experience you need to become a work-ready medical engineer.

Are you interested in engineering that interacts with the human body?
