Objectives
Our bioengineering courses combine leading-edge developments in biology, physiology, medicine and engineering. They are taught by departments that are rated excellent for teaching and have strong research ratings. Our Biomaterial Science and Tissue Engineering course is available as a three-year BEng and four-year MEng. You do not need to decide between a BEng or MEng until the end of Year Two, when you will have enough knowledge and experience to make an informed decision.
