Biomedical Engineering with Foundation Year

About this course

Biomedical engineering applies engineering principles and methods to problems in medicine and healthcare, developing the devices, instruments, software and systems that support diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and the monitoring of human health. It is a discipline that sits at the boundary of engineering and medicine, requiring both technical competence in design, electronics, software and materials and an understanding of human physiology and clinical needs. From pacemakers and prosthetics to imaging systems, wearable sensors and surgical robots, biomedical engineering underpins an enormous range of technologies that improve and extend human lives. This four-year full-time BEng at the University of Southampton includes a foundation year, which develops the mathematical and scientific foundations needed before you progress to degree-level engineering work.
