Professionally accredited course
Accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
This course is perfectly suited to anyone wishing to combine classical engineering training with a medical application. The aim of this course is to produce highly competent engineers who can pursue a career in clinical engineering, bioengineering, or engineering fields outside medicine.
You will benefit from advanced learning in design and management and an appreciation of the techniques needed to manage and organise a multidisciplinary engineering design project.
Teaching is delivered by a dedicated team of research-active academic staff, and some lectures will also be delivered by colleagues from Cardiff University's School of Biosciences and the School of Medicine, as well as the Cardiff & Vale NHS Trust.
