The Bachelor in Biomedical Engineering (BEng) program is 4 years in duration. It includes an eight-month period of Cooperative Education spent in an appropriate industrial environment. The program provides a broad and practical program 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.

The first two years provide you with a foundation in the fundamental engineering disciplines, and subjects taught include: Materials, Engineering Mechanics, Computing for Engineering . At the end of Year 2 you are placed in a company in the biomedical engineering industry both in Ireland and internationally for an 8-month Co-operative Education Period. Typical companies include Boston Scientific (Ireland & USA), Abbott (Ireland & USA) and Medtronic (Ireland and USA). This will take place directly after your Year 2 exams (Summer semester) and continue to start of your second semester of Year 3 (i.e. June to following January).

During your final two years you will undertake modules that again specific to biomedical engineering field. You experience more challenging and group based projects in interesting topics within the Biomedical Engineering field.
