MEng Biomedical Engineering with placement
Course overview
The MEng Biomedical Engineering with Placement at the University of Surrey is a five-year degree. It combines advanced engineering and medical science. Students study electronics, biomechanics, materials, imaging, sensors, signal processing, and medical device design. The course includes a professional training placement year, which allows students to work in industry or health-care settings. In the early years, students cover fundamentals like mathematics, mechanics, circuits, biology, programming, materials science, and human physiology. As they advance, modules become more specialised, such as biomaterials, medical imaging, sensors, control systems, rehabilitation engineering, signal processing, and design projects.
Students work individually and in teams on design and research assignments. The placement year is taken before the final year, giving students industry or clinical experience under supervision. Surrey includes biomedical engineering in its list of courses offering professional training placements. Learning methods include lectures, lab work, tutorials, workshops, group projects, and design studios. Students use modern equipment, biomedical labs, imaging tools, and software for analysis and design. Assessments include written exams, coursework, lab reports, project deliverables, presentations, and a final year capstone or research project. The placement year is assessed by employer feedback, a placement report, and learning reflections.
