About this course

MEng 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, Control Systems, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Laboratory Techniques, and Project Management. The curriculum culminates in a group design project and offers industry insights through visiting speakers and practical modules. The first year covers foundational concepts through Biomedical Materials and the Human Body, Introduction to Biomedical Engineering, Mathematics for Engineers, and Engineering with Living Systems. The second year progresses to advanced topics via Physics of Living Systems, Data Driven Engineering, Robot Foundations, and Applied Engineering Mathematics. The third year incorporates specialised study through Innovation and Commercialisation in Medical Devices and Implants, Group Design Project in Biomedical Engineering, Anatomy, Physiology and Medical Imaging, and Control Systems Design.
