Program overview
The MEng Biomaterials Engineering degree offers students with a leaning towards bioscience and biotechnology a route into the important and growing area of materials that are bio-compatible and/or bio-derived and those that are designed for use in the biomedical sector. Particular application areas are in the health, sport and lifestyle sectors, in regenerative medicine, and in the context of a world-wide ageing population, biomaterials and medical device technology are developing fields that are set to continue to grow for many years. The course is a comprehensive programme of modules that deliver both the theory and the essential industrial relevance employers seek from graduates. The course content encompasses all aspects of materials and biomaterials; their selection, manufacture, testing, assembly and environmental impact both during production and at the end of life.

Career opportunities
As this is a new course, we don't have any graduates yet, but possible career areas include the research environment, pharmaceutical, healthcare and medical device development sectors.
There are excellent career prospects in Biomaterials related and healthcare sectors spanning both passive devices (e.g. orthopaedic implants, prosthetics, contact lenses etc.) through to active devices encompassing a range of medical device technologies (e.g. pacemakers, cochlear implants and insulin pumps). Many other career opportunities also exist, in sectors more usually associated with Materials Engineering such as Automotive, Aerospace, Construction, Sports and Leisure, Electronics, Food and Retail, together with more generic careers in business, banking/finance and general management.
