B.Eng. Medical Engineering

Course Content Years One and TwoYear One aims to ensure that students develop a fundamental knowledge of all relevant subjects. Theory is delivered within lectures and is supported by a dedicated double-module of laboratory experiments that comprises one-sixth of the year. Year Two begins applying engineering knowledge to medical applications, while further developing the fundamental theories learnt in year one. Additionally, dedicated Anatomy & Physiology modules are delivered in both years to ensure the students have sufficient breadth and depth of knowledge.Year ThreeYear Three is structured around providing students with the opportunity to integrate their medical and engineering knowledge, as they tackle a number of realistic clinical challenges throughout a variety of applied modules. Twenty five per cent of this academic year is also devoted to the Individual Project, where students select an area of research interest and then conduct a period of guided study. Recent projects have included: Linking Brain Imaging with Motion Analysis; Computational Modelling of Blood Flow in Cerebral Aneurysm; Football Injuries from Collision with the Ground; Biomechanical Analysis of Shaken Baby Syndrome.
