MEng Medical Engineering
Entry requirements
A level: AAA including Maths. IB: 36 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: DDD in the BTEC National Extended Diploma plus A level Maths grade A DD in the BTEC National Diploma in any subject plus A level Maths grade A D in the BTEC National Extended Certificate plus AA 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
MEng (Hons) in Medical Engineering, a biomedical engineering degree centred on the electrical, electronic and mechanical aspects of healthcare. Core topics include Programming, Signal Processing, Engineering Design, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. The course is fully accredited by the IET and is available with a year in industry taken prior to the final year of study. The first year covers core foundations through modules such as Introduction to Engineering, Programming and Digital Interfacing, Mathematics, and Engineering Project 1. The second year builds competence via Mathematics, Signals and Systems, Engineering Project 2, and Manufacturing and Fabrication. Third-year study focuses on core topics including Principles of Microengineering, Biomedical Engineering, and Engineering Group Project Part A, while offering optional modules such as Advanced Sensors and Instrumentation. The final year concludes with the Individual Final Project, Medical Imaging and Physics, and Future Healthcare and Computer Aided Diagnosis, with further optional study available in areas such as Machine Learning and Computational Intelligence and Systems Programming for ARM.
