Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Medical Engineering

Program Overview

The engineers of today will shape the healthcare industry of the future. As a Medical Engineering undergraduate at the University of Bolton, you’ll have the opportunity to develop a detailed understanding of medical engineering principles and the role of the profession in relation to the real world problems of today.

This course aims to provide a comprehensive, future-proof overview of the medical engineering discipline, reflecting developments in sustainability, industry, technology, environment and society. Studying across the subjects of engineering, mathematics and human biology, you’ll have the chance to work with international research teams and innovative biomedical technology to investigate medical equipment technology, design and test hypotheses, and assess the use of biomedical devices in healthcare.

Delivered through laboratory work, computer simulation, group activities, demonstrations and lectures, the course is designed to help you develop and apply problem solving, modelling and analytical abilities, as well as encourage stronger communication, reflection and personal development planning skills.

Highlights

You’ll have the opportunity to work with international research teams and technologically advanced equipment.
Combining practical and theoretical study, the course aims to help you develop knowledge and skills across disciplines like biomechatronics, biomaterials and biomedical devices, among other areas of expertise.
This course has been developed with input from key industry employers. We have strong industry links, reinforced by live briefs and case studies developed in conjunction with industry, as well as opportunities for placements.
You’ll have the chance to take part in exciting events like the IMechE engineering challenge, where you can design, create and operate a device to solve real world problems.
This course follows the guidelines developed by the Engineering Council (UK-SPEC).

Key Features

You may have opportunities to access advanced technology, such as our 3D motion capture system (with ground reaction force platforms), isokinetic dynamometer, mass spectrometer, 3D printing, teaching robot, composite materials manufacturing cell, engineering simulation software and confocal microscope.
You’ll have the chance to experience real life applications of biomedical devices in disease and rehabilitation contexts.
During the course, you’ll be introduced to subjects that explore the principles of medical engineering and the wider multidisciplinary engineering context, as well as related influencing factors, such as economic and ethical considerations.
On successful completion of this course, you’ll be awarded a BEng (Hons) in Medical Engineering.
