Biomedical engineers focus on the advances in technology and medicine to develop new devices/equipment for improving human health.  On a day to day basis some tasks that biomedical engineer's may undertake are to test new or existing medical equipment, develop artificial limbs, design equipment which will allow doctors to use new medical techniques and manage medical equipment, like scanners, imaging machines and monitoring systems. 

The main routes to get into this role are :

• A university course- you could undertake a degree to support your career in biomedical engineering. 

• An apprenticeship- you could undertake a degree apprenticeship in the relevant field. 

• NHS training- you could apply for the NHS practitioner training programme. 

There are a varied amount of relevant degrees which will support you in progressing into the biomedical career. Some of these degrees include:

• Electrical engineering

• Mechanical engineering

• Biomedical science

• Physics

• Mathematics

Many employers require at least a 2:1. If you'd like to work towards chartered status you should make sure that your degree is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) or the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE).
