Healthcare Science (Rehabilitation Engineering)

About this course

Healthcare science in rehabilitation engineering applies engineering principles, biomechanics, and clinical knowledge to the design and development of technologies that improve the lives of people with physical disabilities or impairments. From prosthetic limbs and wheelchair systems to assistive devices and rehabilitation equipment, rehabilitation engineering sits at the intersection of engineering innovation and healthcare need, concerned with creating tools that genuinely extend what people are able to do in their daily lives. At Swansea University, this three-year, full-time degree equips you with the technical and clinical knowledge to contribute to this life-changing field. You will study engineering mechanics, biomechanics, materials science, and electronics alongside the clinical and physiological knowledge needed to understand the bodies and conditions that rehabilitation engin
