Bioengineering (Regenerative Medicine) with Foundation Year
Bioengineering in the context of regenerative medicine is a discipline at the very frontier of medical science, bringing together biology, chemistry, materials science, and engineering to develop technologies that help the human body repair and rebuild itself. Regenerative medicine encompasses approaches including tissue engineering, stem cell biology, biomaterials, and gene therapy, all aimed at restoring function in damaged or diseased tissues and organs. It is one of the most rapidly evolving areas of biomedical research, with potential applications across orthopaedics, cardiology, neurology, wound healing, and many other fields.
At Keele University, this four-year full-time Bioengineering (Regenerative Medicine) degree with a foundation year positions you at the intersection of cutting-edge science and real-world medical problem-solving. The foundation year provides a supported entry into the programme, building the scientific and mathematical grounding needed to engage with a demanding interdisciplinary degree. You will work alongside academic experts and gain access to state-of-the-art laboratories, developing the transdisciplinary knowledge and practical skills needed for research, discovery, and production roles in regenerative medicine.
The entry tariff is 56 points, reflecting the supported entry pathway.
Graduates from bioengineering and regenerative medicine programmes are exceptionally well positioned in one of the most dynamic areas of the life sciences and healthcare sectors. Careers in pharmaceutical and biotechnology research and development, medical devices, clinical trials, bioprocessing, and academic research are all well-established destinations. The regenerative medicine sector in particular is growing rapidly as clinical applications emerge from laboratory research, creating demand for graduates with both biological understanding and engineering and manufacturing skills.
Postgraduate study in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, biomaterials, or clinical science is a natural continuation for those who wish to develop specialist research expertise.
