Bioengineering (Regenerative Medicine)

Our Bioengineering (Regenerative Medicine) BSc is an innovative programme that aims to develop aspiring bioengineers into a specialised workforce, that will respond to the future demands for regenerative therapeutic strategies.

The discipline integrates biochemical, molecular and cellular knowledge with engineering principles to design new types of advanced therapies to repair, replace and rejuvenate damaged or diseased tissues. In your first year of study you will gain a solid grounding in the core components of life, exploring cell biology, molecular science, and human anatomy.

Building on this knowledge, you'll explore more specialised topics like stem cell biology and tissue engineering. You'll learn how to work with biomaterials that can potentially rebuild damaged body parts and understand the complex world of molecular interactions.

Within your second and third year you can choose optional topics to tailor your experience to your own interests and career goals, for example homing biological theory in cell biology for regenerative medicine, cell signalling, studying current topics in regenerative medicine, cancer biology, precision medicine and nanomedicine.

To apply your learning, you will gain hands-on laboratory experience through sessions delivered in our state-of-the-art David Attenborough Laboratories, Central Science Laboratories and at the Guy Hilton Research Institute (at the Royal Stoke University Hospital Site).
