Biomedical Engineering

This degree has been designed in consultation with the healthcare industry and medical community, ensuring you’ll receive an education that’s up to speed with current developments. Traditionally, medical device companies have recruited from fields like mechanical and electronic engineering, and then provided additional training in bioengineering, but DCU’s Biomedical Engineering integrates the necessary aspects of biology and medicine with the technical engineering aspects required to engineer medical devices. The range and sophistication of medical devices needed to apply treatment and fight disease are growing in response to rapidly evolving disease treatments. From cameras that explore blood vessels to scanners that analyze the entire human body, biomedical engineering expertise is in greater demand than ever before. Completing the course in four years earns you a Bachelor’s, or an optional Year Five could fast-track you to a Master’s in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (Biomedical Major).
