Biomedical Engineering Open Day - Wed 22/03/2017

Biomedical Engineering is a new and rapidly growing area, which involves engineers collaborating with doctors to develop novel medical devices, technology and systems capable of delivering substantial healthcare benefit, and to translate new engineering technologies into clinical practice. As a discipline, it lies at the intersection between the physical, mathematical and medical sciences.

Biomedical engineering is presently attracting a lot of attention as a career option, because of the opportunities it affords in innovation and entrepreneurship. We have taken the initiative of organising an Open Day, specifically targeted at pupils in Years 10-12, aimed at introducing them to everything biomedical engineering has to offer and the qualifications and degree subjects that will enable them to build a successful career in this field.

In my role as Director of the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Oxford, I am writing to invite pupils from your school to attend this Open Day, due to take place on
Wednesday 22nd March 2017  at the University’s Old Road Campus in Headington, from 10:00am.

The morning will consist of mini-lectures interleaved with demonstrations conducted by researchers within the Institute, ranging from the use of mobile phones to monitor health to delivering ultrasound for non-invasive cancer treatment.

Yours sincerely,

Prof. Constantin-C. Coussios, Ph.D. (Cantab.)

Director, Institute of Biomedical Engineering, University of Oxford
