About this programme

The Biomedical Technology Ventures BSc is set against the backdrop of an increasing demand for medical devices and the growth of the healthcare industry. In this programme, you will be guided in developing an entrepreneurial mindset and equipped with the skills to identify opportunities for improving human healthcare through the application of technology. You'll have balanced lectures, workshops, laboratory sessions and seminars to explore the fundamentals of mathematics, medical science, device prototyping and computer programming. Alongside a breadth of engineering and biomedical engineering knowledge, you will gain insight into the medical device industry and the potential entrepreneurial pathways to a career. With the programme's strong emphasis on practical work and hands-on learning, you'll develop tangible skills and gain real-world experience through an internship at an industry startup. The interdisciplinary nature of your training will enable you to work and collaborate effectively across the boundaries of multiple subjects. You'll take on a series of project- based modules throughout the programme, leading to a major final year project that will provide you with the opportunity to design, make and test an engineering solution to address a biomedical problem. In Year 2, a Year in Industry pathway will be made available where you'll be able to take a placement in industry after your second year at the discretion of the Programme Lead. This programme option is not available via UCAS and you will need to apply during your second year of your BSc Biomedical Tec
