About this course
MEng in Molecular Bioengineering, a biomedical engineering degree bridging life sciences and engineering principles to address healthcare challenges. Core topics include Programming, Data Analysis, Statistics, Laboratory Techniques, Research Methods, Project Management, Engineering Design, Critical & Analytical Thinking, Ethics & Professional Practice, Entrepreneurship, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. Students complete a year-long individual research project in the final year. The first year covers foundational concepts through Medical and Biochemical Science 1, Molecules and Energetics 1, Mathematics and Engineering 1, Computer Fundamentals and Programming 1, and Design and Professional Practice 1. The second year builds upon this base with Molecules, Materials and Measurement 2, Medical and Biochemical Science 2, Mathematics and Engineering 2, Design and Professional Practice 2, and Programming 2. The third year introduces Probability, Statistics and Data Analysis, Bioengineering Group Project, Biomaterials for Bioengineers, Foundations of Synthetic Biology, Modelling in Biology, and I-Explore, alongside optional modules such as Advanced Imaging Technologies for Systems Biology and Biomedical Research, Digital Biosignal Processing, and Image Processing. The fourth year centres on an Individual Project alongside optional study in areas including Advanced Synthetic Biology, Principles of Biomedical Imaging, and Medical Device Entrepreneurship.
