ABOUT
Bioengineering, Faculty of Engineering
Course description
This unique course combines biomaterials, imaging and in silico medicine. It gives you the medical background, specialist knowledge, and theoretical and practical skills you’ll need to integrate biology and medicine with engineering and ultimately solve problems related to living systems.
We’ll introduce you to the field of biomaterials, and important factors in the selection, design, and development of biomaterials for clinical applications.
You’ll also have the chance to explore the medical devices field and product design, together with their regulatory aspects. You’ll develop experimental skills in our world-class laboratories and advanced skills in modelling. These skills are useful for simulating the complexities of the human body and for more traditional engineering contexts.
You’ll be taught by world-leading scientists. We work closely with specialist research centres at the University of Sheffield, including Insigneo and POLARIS, along with research groups focusing on advances in biomaterials, bioengineering and health technologies. This means you’ll be positioned at the forefront of biomedical innovation and become part of a community of professionals in the field while you study.
You can tailor the course to suit your interests and research project. Optional modules range from biomechanics to the use of virtual reality and 3D visualisation approaches.
- Be part of an exciting field that integrates biology and engineering to improve quality of life.
- Through optional modules and an in-depth research project you’ll have a variety of ways to explore your area of interest.
Accreditation
The course has been developed in line with accreditation standards and will seek to be formally accredited at the earliest opportunity, backdating this status to those who have previously studied on the programme.
Modules
A selection of modules are available each year – some examples are below. There may be changes before you start your course.
Core modules:
- Anatomy and Physiology for Engineers
- Introduction to Medical Device Regulation
- Applied Modelling Skills and Virtual Reality
- X-rays for Planar and Volumetric Imaging in Medicine
Optional modules:
- Computational Biomechanics of the Musculoskeletal System
- Clinical Engineering and Computational Mechanics
- Dental Materials Science
- Bio-imaging and Bio-spectroscopy
- Fundamental Biomechanics
- Cardiovascular Biomechanics
- Human Movement Biomechanics
- Experimental Skills for Tissue Modelling
- Tissue Engineering Approaches to Failure in Living Systems
- Biomaterials Science
- Structural and Physical Properties of Dental and Bio-materials.
- Human Factors and User-Centred Design
- Computational Mechanics with Clinical Applications
- Vascular Cell Biology
- Vascular Disease: models & clinical practice
The content of our courses is reviewed annually to make sure it’s up-to-date and relevant. Individual modules are occasionally updated or withdrawn. This is in response to discoveries through our world-leading research; funding changes; professional accreditation requirements; student or employer feedback; outcomes of reviews; and variations in staff or student numbers. In the event of any change we’ll consult and inform students in good time and take reasonable steps to minimise disruption. We are no longer offering unrestricted module choice. If your course included unrestricted modules, your department will provide a list of modules from their own and other subject areas that you can choose from.
Duration
1 year full-time
Teaching
You’ll learn through a combination of lectures, seminars, laboratories and coursework assignments. You’ll be expected to conduct private study, the amount of which will vary from module to module. Reading lists will be provided.
You’ll also work closely with one of the masters teaching staff on a project topic of your choice.
Assessment
You’ll be assessed by a variety of means, including written examinations, coursework submissions (which include design studies, laboratory reports, computational assignments and research topics), poster and oral presentations and a formative assessment.
Your career
Our graduates develop a broad skill set to succeed in a growing discipline, which is at the interface between engineering and the life sciences.
You’ll have the opportunity to work as a clinical engineer or as a research and development engineer in the bioengineering industrial sector.
The breadth of skills you’ll acquire also gives you the opportunity to flourish in a more traditional engineering environment. For example, you could become a consultant engineer or you could follow a research pathway and continue to study on a PhD.
Entry requirements
A minimum 2:2 in a bachelors honours degree in an engineering subject (e.g. mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, control engineering, general engineering, chemical engineering, bioengineering, or biomedical engineering) or a pure sciences subject (e.g. maths, physics). You will need a strong background and high previous performance (equivalent to 2:1) in a maths module (e.g. advanced maths, calculus, modelling) and a physics module (e.g. solid/fluid mechanics, materials).
Overall IELTS score of 6.5 with a minimum of 6.0 in each component, or equivalent.
Fees and funding
- Home (2022 annual fee) : £13,000
- Overseas (2022 annual fee) : £26,200
The fee listed is for the advertised mode of study. If you’re studying for an alternative qualification or via a different mode of study (eg full-time, part-time) then the fee could be different. Due to inflation, the fee for Home students could also increase after your first year of study.

accommodation
The international undergraduate and postgraduate students at this university can use different types of accommodation options and live in a safe and vibrant environment to focus entirely on their studies and get the best result, also the students can use the cafes and bars gyms, and other living facilities, on the other hand, they can have an accommodation tour and Sheffield city tour to become familiar with their living environment and make the most suitable decision, as we said, this university offers various accommodation options with different fees like £6,782.58 to £10,210.62 for a rental place in the city for undergraduate and postgraduate students, and they can choose to have a private or shared room.
After Graduation
The international students can work up to 20 hours in part-time jobs in the UK, however, they must refer to their visa to see whether they have study and work permits or not, we recommend you to focus only on your education to get the best results and be able to find the most suitable jobs in the UK or the global market right after graduation, on the other hand, if the international applicants need extra financial help to pay for their tuition fee, living, and study expenses, they can find part-time jobs under some conditions, also if the students find related jobs to their educational fields (with the help of the university), they will obtain more real experience and skills aside from the theoretical knowledge that they acquire during their study period.
