When students study Biomedical Engineering, they not only learn how the body works and becomes injured, but come to understand how medical devices are developed to treat injuries and disease, and how to help the body heal itself. They’ll use state-of-the-art labs and tools such as 3D simulations and machine learning as they study.
Make a real difference
This course is for those who are creative, analytical, inquisitive, and innovative, and keen to work in a fast-growing field with real human impact. Students will get biological and medical knowledge, and technical engineering expertise, so they can solve problems in biomedicine. Students will study advanced biology, biomaterials, biomechanics, tissue engineering, medical device design, surgical technology, rehabilitation engineering and much more besides.
In third year, students will do a 6-to-10-month INTRA work placement to put what they will learned into practice. And they can also opt to study abroad. Both the healthcare and medical devices industry have strong demand for qualified graduate engineers. Typically, Dublin City University graduates end up working as biomedical engineers, consultants, research and development engineers or data scientists.
