About this course
BEng in Biomedical Engineering, a biomedical engineering degree centred on the application of engineering principles to biological and medical problems. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Circuit Design, Microelectronics, Control Systems, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Laboratory Techniques, Research Methods, Engineering Design, Clinical Skills, Communication & Writing, Critical & Analytical Thinking, Entrepreneurship, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. Students complete an individual research project in the final year under the supervision of academic staff. The first year covers foundational concepts through Introduction to Biomedical Engineering, Mathematics for Engineers, Introduction to Electric and Electronic Circuits, and Mechatronics, Embedded Programming and Modelling. The second year progresses to advanced principles via Physics of Living Systems, Data Driven Engineering, Robot Foundations, and Control and Communication Systems. The final year focuses on professional topics, innovation, and independent investigation through modules such as Biomedical Engineering Research, Careers and Employability Topics, Innovation and Commercialisation in Medical Devices and Implants, and the Biomedical Engineering BEng Research project.
