Biomedical Engineering

About this course

Biomedical engineering applies the principles and methods of engineering to the understanding and solution of problems in medicine and biology. It is a discipline born of the recognition that the bodies of knowledge that underpin engineering and the life sciences can be powerfully combined, and that doing so opens up technologies and therapies that neither discipline could produce alone. Medical imaging systems, prosthetic limbs, cardiac devices, diagnostic instruments, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering scaffolds are all products of biomedical engineering thinking. At Aston University, this four-year full-time programme includes a sandwich year, a year abroad, and a work placement, making it one of the most practically engaged biomedical engineering degrees available. The sandwich year places you in a professional setting for an extended period, which gives you industry expe
