Biomedical Engineering

About this course

Biomedical engineering transforms healthcare through the design and development of customised medical devices, prosthetics and the full range of technologies that improve people's lives by restoring or enhancing biological function. The field applies engineering principles to living systems, asking how devices can be designed to interact safely and effectively with the human body, how implants and prosthetics can replicate or supplement what the body can no longer do, and how diagnostic and therapeutic technologies can be made more accurate, less invasive and more accessible. It sits at a frontier that is moving rapidly and with considerable social significance. At the University of Leicester, this three-year full-time programme integrates practical skills and expertise in engineering and the life sciences, taking you to the forefront of the latest medical technologies.
