About this course
Bachelor of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering, a biomedical engineering and electrical and electronic engineering degree focused on the intersection of engineering principles and healthcare applications. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Circuit Design, Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Signal Processing, Microelectronics, Control Systems, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Engineering Design, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. The programme spans three years and incorporates practical laboratory work alongside comprehensive theoretical study. The first year establishes fundamental capabilities through Applied Biomechanical Mathematics, BIOM Part One Laboratory Programme, Biomedical Engineering Mathematics, Digital Systems, From Molecules to Life, Introduction to Biomedical Engineering, Programming I (BIOM), Programming II (BIOM), and Sensor Interfaces. The second year advances technical knowledge with Algorithms and data, Artificial Intelligence, Biomechatronics, Biomedical Engineering Design, Control and Systems Engineering, Digital Health Principles, Fundamentals of Cell Biology and Biomaterials, Semiconductor Devices and Sensors, Signal Processing, and Statistical Modelling I. The final year involves core studies in Advanced Databases, Biosensors and Diagnostics, Machine Learning Technologies, Robot Kinematics and Dynamics, alongside the Part III Individual Project Phase 1 and Part III Individual Project Phase 2. Students can tailor their studies in the final year through diverse optional modules such as Advanced Computer Architecture, Advanced Partial Differential Equations, Analogue and Mixed Signal Electronics, Bioinformatics and Systems Biology, Biomaterials, Cloud Application Development, Computational Biology, Computer Vision, Control System Design, Digital IC and Systems Design, Embedded Networked Systems, Engineering Replacement Body Parts, Fluids and Mechanical Materials, From Data to Dynamical Model: System Identification, Global Health, Imaging for Digital Health and Bioscience, Interaction Science, Manufacturing and Materials, Mechanical Power Transmission and Vibration, Natural Language Processing, Operational Research, Orthopaedic Biomechanics, Precision Health: Machine Learning Under Uncertainty, Principles of Neuroscience, Real-Time Computing and Embedded Systems, Security of Cyber Physical Systems, and Signal and Image Processing.
