Biomedical engineering - jobs

Hi all

I am just wondering, what kind of jobs would be open to me if I studied a biomedical engineering degree with/without placement year?

I plan on doing an access to engineering course this September online for 9 months full time.

I am going on the basis of interest and wonder and not necessarily rigid on this specific degree, but I would like to know if I could perhaps work as a lab scientist/researcher afterwards or something? what would be the best thing to do? I guess what I am asking is will there be certain doors closed with this degree? Open to all responses and opinions, so if you've got any ideas please share them with me, and I look forward to reading them!

Thank you kindly

An engineering job will basically entail working at a desk doing calculations and CAD, or maybe in a manufacturing facility overseeing the production process. If you want to work in a lab or as a research scientist you should do a science degree.

One thing I forgot to mention is that the jobs I can get with a biomedical engineering degree around where I am from is mostly as a field service technician, repairing medical devices, which also interests me, but I gotta learn how to drive first! Also, I have mental health issues which is another thing holding me back.

Does anyone know if I could do a biomedical engineering/science degree online instead of on campus??

Thanks,

I don't think a degree is typically needed to be a field service technician.
If you want to study online look at the Open University.

What are the qualifications needed to be a field service technician?

Anyone else besides Open University?
