About this program
Medical Engineering (MEng)
The Cardiff Medical Engineering program is one of the best established in the UK, and is perfectly suited to anyone wishing to combine classical engineering training with a medical application.
The aim of the course is to produce a highly competent engineer who can pursue a career in clinical engineering, bioengineering or engineering fields outside medicine.
This four-year Cardiff MEng Medical Engineering program offers you a quicker, more direct route to Chartered Engineer status than the three-year BEng. It allows you to use the last two years to expand and strengthen your knowledge in medical engineering.
You will benefit from advanced learning in design and management and an appreciation of the techniques needed to manage and organise a multidisciplinary engineering design project.
Teaching is by a dedicated team of research-active academic staff, and there are also some lectures by colleagues from Cardiff School of Biosciences, School of Medicine and Cardiff & Vale NHS Trust.
Other Cardiff University Medical Engineering courses include:
- A thorough grounding in the fundamentals of medical engineering if you choose a BEng course
- The opportunity to follow a sandwich year in industry if you choose the relevant four-year BEng or five-year MEng degree option
