Hons in Biomedical Design

This four-year Tallaght programme builds strong technical and analytical skills for biomedical design, engineering and technology. Core modules cover biomechanics, biomaterials and design principles. Teaching also covers management, legislation, circular design, environmental impact, emerging technology, production systems, compliance, ethics and communication. Guest lectures from design professionals are part of the approach, and an Erasmus exchange is possible in the second semester of year three. The award is a Level 8 Bachelor of Science with honours, entered through the CAO. Ireland is a major base for the medical technology sector, so graduates are prepared for ethical, environmentally aware design roles in that industry. A professional accreditation is expected in the near future.
