    Course Summary

    City University London’s MEng in Biomedical Engineering is designed for undergraduates with strong mathematical skills. It will explore applications for engineering in the healthcare industry, and is delivered in state of the art facilities attended by leading researchers in the field. It is considered a ‘fast track’ to Chartered Engineer status, and can lead to a very rewarding career in a number of different fields and specialties.

    You’ll study science, engineering and medical science, of course. You’ll also learn about the art of management and leadership in a professional context and develop a specialty in line with your personal interests and intended career path.

    This program incorporates an optional year in paid work placement. This is a wonderful opportunity to see how biomedical engineers apply their skills in real world working situations and to prove to potential employers that you have the professional skills they demand of Master’s level graduates.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

    Learning & Teaching

    This is a very interdisciplinary program. You’ll take modules delivered by the School of Health Sciences and the School of Mathematics, Computer Science & Engineering. You’ll also learn directly from medical industry experts and hospital consultants. Most modules will include lectures, tutorials, seminars and laboratory sessions. You’ll learn theory, but also do experimental and computer based learning. You’ll be assessed based on your examinations as well as on your coursework and projects.

    Career Possibilities

    This is an interdisciplinary degree program. As a result, you have a great deal of flexibility as to what career paths you can take. Many graduates focus on designing and operating medical imaging equipment or other special instrumentation. Others work to push the boundaries of understanding in this field. Recent graduates have one to work for organisations such as the NHS, Intertek, AstraZeneca, Genetic Microdevices, Siemens, Covidien and Philips Healthcare.

    Entry & Credit

    Successful completion will result in a 4 year MEng degree.

    Applicants must typically have achieved 3 A levels at ABB or better, or the international equivalent. Beyond that, a wide range of qualifications are accepted.

    All classes are taught in English, and international students will be required to show proficiency in English by scoring well on an approved test. An IELTS score of 6.5 overall and no section scoring lover than 6.0 would qualify, for example.
