Clinical Technology BSc (Hons) in Bradford trains you to work with the equipment hospitals rely on. Listed skills include building and maintaining medical devices, tissue engineering for artificial organs, and taking physiological measurements such as ECG, EMG, BMI, spirometry and skin analysis. Later you specialise in renal technology (dialysis), rehabilitation engineering (prosthetics and orthotics) and medical engineering. Year three is a placement in industry, according to the university. The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) accredits the course, which the notes say leads towards partial CEng status. Dialysis assistants, healthcare technicians and electronics staff interested in patient care fit well, and a foundation-year version exists for those needing preparation. Speak to AF Education for free Student Finance England support as an England-resident UK home student.
