Biomedical Engineering

About this course

Biomedical engineering applies the principles and methods of engineering to the challenges of medicine and healthcare. It is the discipline responsible for devices such as pacemakers, prosthetic limbs, dialysis machines, medical imaging systems, and wearable health monitors, and for the software platforms that are increasingly supporting clinical diagnosis and treatment. As healthcare systems face the challenge of serving ageing populations while managing costs, and as digital technology makes possible new forms of remote and personalised medicine, biomedical engineers are central to developing the solutions that will define healthcare in the coming decades. At the University of Southampton, this three-year full-time BEng programme prepares you to design software and hardware solutions that address real healthcare challenges. You will study engineering fundamentals including electronics
