Designed with clinical and industrial relevance in mind, our Medical Engineering degree programmes provide you with a firm foundation in the subject, combining technical competence and industrial awareness with crucial personal and clinical skills. Our accredited programmes can also lead to Chartered Engineer status and you will benefit from close interaction with practising clinical and healthcare engineering professionals and visits to clinical and industrial centres, particularly in your final year.
By studying Medical Engineering at Surrey, you will benefit from nearly 50 years’ experience of teaching and research in the field. Teaching is informed by our internationally renowned Centre for Biomedical Engineering, giving you access to the latest pioneering techniques, such as the analysis of human movement for clinical and sports applications, biomedical signal processing for disease diagnosis, and electrical stimulation for limb movement following spinal cord injury, stroke or cerebral palsy.

Our Medical Engineering programmes share a common first year with our Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering and Aerospace Engineering programmes, giving you the opportunity to communicate with engineers from other specialisations. Direct entry to the MEng programme normally requires higher qualifications, but transfer from the BEng to the MEng is possible during the degree programme, depending on academic performance (normally after year 2). Transfer is also possible from the MEng and BEng programmes without a Professional Training year to ones with (and vice versa). This transfer can be made after year 1, giving you time to consider the benefits of the Professional Training placement year.
