Bachelor/Masters of Engineering (Hons) in Biomedical Engineering (LM116)

University of Limerick

Biomedical engineering uses problem-solving techniques and engineering mechanics to solve biology and medicine-based problems. Modern medicine has given rise to a wide range of novel engineering solutions to these clinical problems – and a Biomedical Engineering degree is your way to help address current clinical problems and diseases. Biomedical Engineering is a relatively new area of Engineering, but it is the fastest growing area due to increased demand for biology-based engineers from the MedTech Sector.The Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) and Masters of Engineering (M.E.) programme in Biomedical Engineering are 4 years and 5 years in duration, respectively. Both include an eight-month period of Cooperative Education spent in an appropriate industrial environment. The course provides a broad and practical programme of study, which gives you a good understanding of anatomy, physiological fluid mechanics, medical devices, medical imaging, tissue mechanics, cell mechanobiology, biomicrofluidics, and computational modelling.
