Studying biomedical engineering abroad

A biomedical engineering degree offers international students the opportunity to merge technology with healthcare, developing life-changing innovations like medical devices and prosthetics.

Biomedical engineering is a field that combines medicine and biology with engineering for healthcare purposes.

As a biomedical engineer, you will use your technological skills to help improve people's lives. This could mean developing ground-breaking medical devices, health diagnostic systems, or working with prosthetics.

In a world with an ageing and growing population, the knowledge and skills of a biomedical engineer are becoming increasingly desirable, in a fight against diseases and incidents that shorten or decrease the quality of lives.

Modules you study might include human physiology, programming, signal processing, and bioinformatics.

Your degree will be delivered in a mixture of modes. These could include lectures and tutorials, as well as practical and lab-based projects. Depending on your course, you may also be able to take part in a work placement.

A postgraduate degree in biomedical engineering will allow you to expand on the skills and knowledge gained at undergraduate level. Modules you study might include medical imaging, synthetic biology, performance engineering, rehabilitation robotics, and tissue engineering.
