Biomaterials Engineering is an exciting course delivered within the Department of Materials at Loughborough. It builds on our strengths in materials and bio-related disciplines across the University. The course will teach you the fundamentals of materials, their properties and engineering methods. It will teach you how to apply these to the biomedical field, particularly within the human body. Application areas are in the health, sport, and lifestyle sectors, as well as in regenerative medicine. In the context of a worldwide ageing population, biomaterials and medical device technology are developing fields that are set to grow for many years.

Computer and Electronic Engineering teaches you to combine digital electronics, microprocessors and software to develop and enable the potential of embedded computer systems. Embedded systems include mobile phones, game consoles, car engine management systems, traffic lights, and wireless routers, to name a few. PCs and traditional desktop computers are designed for multiple tasks, whereas embedded computer systems often have a dedicated function or purpose. This tends to be within a larger electromechanical system and is often small, rugged and low power.
