The third-year MEng group projects in Bioengineering are sponsored by our industry partners.

Each project is undertaken by a team of 5-7 bioengineering students working over nine months, contributing approximately 1,800-2,400 hours to a challenge defined by the sponsoring company and supported by an 51³Ô¹ÏÍø academic supervisor.

The scheme provides companies with a cost-effective way to explore new ideas, evaluate technologies, develop prototypes, generate data, or investigate longer-term opportunities that may sit outside core R&D priorities.

Sponsors also gain access to 51³Ô¹ÏÍø's specialist facilities, technical staff and academic expertise, while establishing relationships with talented engineers before they enter the graduate job market.

Recent industry partners have included Abbott, Convatec, Meta, P&G and Össur.
