BEng Biomedical Engineering
Entry requirements
A level: ABB including Maths. IB: 34 points overall with grade 5 in Higher Level Mathematics - Applications and Interpretation or 5 in Higher Level or Standard Level Mathematics - Analysis and Approaches. BTEC: We consider a range of BTEC qualifications equivalent to 3 A Levels, or in combination with A Levels or other qualifications. For example: DDM in the BTEC National Extended Diploma plus A level Maths grade B DD in the BTEC National Diploma in any subject plus A level Maths grade B D in the BTEC National Extended Certificate plus AB at A level including Mathematics We consider BTEC Level 3 National Diploma/ Extended Diploma with Unit 7- Calculus to Solve Engineering Problems and Unit 8- Further Engineering Mathematics in place of A Level Mathematics.
About this course
BEng (Hons) Biomedical Engineering, a biomedical engineering degree centred on the application of engineering principles to healthcare and medicine. Core topics include Programming. The course concludes with an individual final project in the final year. The first year covers core engineering foundations through Introduction to Engineering, Programming and Digital Interfacing, Mathematics, and Engineering Project 1. The second year builds competence with Mathematics, Signals and Systems, Engineering Project 2, Manufacturing and Fabrication, and Control, Sensors and Instrumentation. The third year offers advanced study in topics such as Biomedical Engineering, Robotics Design and Construction, Medical Physics, and Introduction to Clinical Engineering and Physiological Systems, alongside the Individual Final Project.
