Hi, I'm Dr. Harriet Talbot and I'm a lecturer
in Biomedical Engineering here at the University of Hull.
Biomedical Engineering at the University of Hull has links
with Hull York Medical School and the Biomedical Science departments
to deliver modules and common labs
and use their spaces for our research and teaching.
This means that you've got great access to facilities
across the campus and links to research that's going on
and is really relevant to the biomedical engineering field.
Within the subject, we also have common modules with other engineering disciplines
and it is also able to swap
with the Mechanical and Medical Engineering degree.
So there are some modules that are in common,
so if you decide you find those more interesting,
you can switch between the two, and the same for Mechanical and Medical
engineering if you decided to study that at the university,
but then thought that the biomedical modules sounded
more interesting, there's some fluidity between the two degrees.
You'd be able to take a year in industry as part of your degree,
where you would be able to go and work in local industry.
We've got links with Smith & Nephew and other local world leading
industrial partners.
We also work closely with the local NHS Trust,
and in your second year of your degree
you would be able to go and visit and shadow doctors and see medical
engineering in practice, which is really valuable to our students.
All of our engineering programs have relatively small class sizes,
which is really valuable for you as a student, as it means that you'd have
one on one opportunities to undertake labs and gain practical skills.
So we have tissue engineering modules, cell mechanobiology,
all of these need practical skills and you'd be able to do these
in really nice small class sizes
where you would be able to be guided through these.
If all of this sounds really interesting and you'd like to come
and see our facilities and meet more of the academics,
please do visit us at an open day and bring any questions that
you would like to ask.
