Engineering (Bioengineering)

About this course

Bioengineering applies the principles of engineering to biological and medical problems, with the goal of creating technologies and systems that improve our understanding of living organisms and our ability to treat disease and support human function. It is a discipline that sits at the junction of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, materials science, computational modelling, and the life sciences, and it demands the ability to work across all of these simultaneously. The results range from medical implants and prosthetics to biosensors, lab-on-chip diagnostic devices, and the computational tools used to model physiological systems. At the University of Durham, this four-year full-time engineering programme includes a sandwich year, a year abroad, and a work placement, creating an unusually rich practical and international experience within what is already a technically dem
