Medical Engineering

About this course

Medical engineering applies engineering principles to the problems of healthcare, working at the boundary between technology and medicine to design, develop and test the devices and systems that support clinical care. Whether that is a wearable sensor for monitoring chronic conditions, a biomaterial designed to integrate with living tissue, an implant that must function reliably inside the human body for decades, or the complex systems that enable modern operating theatres to function safely, medical engineers must think simultaneously about human biology, materials science, electronics, mechanics and regulatory frameworks. At the University of Leeds you will study for three years full-time, developing the broad range of technical and scientific skills that healthcare technology demands. You will cover fundamental engineering principles alongside biology and physiology, learning to appl
