BEng (Hons) Medical Engineering

From high-tech operating theatres and biomaterials to medical wearables and implant technologies, medical engineers play a crucial part in the evolution of modern healthcare. Bridging the gap between engineering and medicine through a multidisciplinary approach – medical engineering solutions combine knowledge of the body with engineering principles, technology, mechanics and innovation to develop tools for the medical community to improve the health and wellbeing of the population. The next generation of medical engineers will help to advance healthcare performance and outcomes, not only through innovative new treatment approaches but also in monitoring, diagnosis, therapy and rehabilitation of patients. Studying medical engineering at Leeds will develop your abilities, knowledge and skills across the full range of medical engineering disciplines, from the fundamentals of design and manufacture to fluid dynamics. You’ll also have scope to specialise in fields that interest you, such as joint replacement technology, biomaterials and tissue engineering.

A-level: A*AA including Mathematics and one of the sciences, Physics, Chemistry or Biology. Where an A-level Science subject is taken, we require a pass in the practical science element, alongside the achievement of the A-level at the stated grade. Extended Project Qualification, International Project Qualification and Welsh Baccalaureate Advanced Skills Challenge Certificate: We do not currently include them as part of our offer-making. We do, however, encourage you to provide further information on your project in your personal statement. GCSE: English Language grade 4 (C) or higher, or an equivalent English language qualification. We will accept Level 2 Functional Skills English instead of GCSE English. Alternative qualification: Access to HE Diploma – Pass 60 credits overall with 45 credits at Level 3, with Distinction, to include Mathematics, Calculus, Further Calculus and Physics, Chemistry or Biology. BTEC – DDD (RQF) in an Engineering-related BTEC and a grade A in A Level Mathematics. We cannot consider BTEC qualifications without A Level Mathematics and do not accept BTEC Maths units in lieu of this A Level requirement. Cambridge Pre-U – D2, D3, D3 including Mathematics and one of the sciences, Physics, Chemistry or Biology. International Baccalaureate – 18 points at higher level to include 6 points in higher level Mathematics and Physics or Chemistry. Irish Leaving Certificate (higher Level) – H1 H1 H2 H2 H2 H2, including Mathematics and one of the sciences, Physics, Chemistry or Biology, where a H1 must be in either Mathematics or Physics. Scottish Highers / Advanced Highers – AA at Advanced Higher level including Mathematics and one of the sciences, Physics, Chemistry or Biology, and AAAAA at Higher level.
