This is a 4 year program for most students.

Year 1 Modules:

You’ll begin by studying the principles which underlie engineering generally. This will include mathematics.

• Computer Aided Engineering
• Design, Build and Test
• Electronics and Mechanics
• Engineering Materials
• Mathematical Methods and Applications
• Thermofluids 1

Year 2 Modules:

Now you’ll add biology modules, as well as a few more advanced engineering modules.

• Cell and Tissue Biology
• Clinical Movement Analysis
• Electronics for Bio-Sensing
• Functional Anatomy and Human Physiological Measurements
• Further Engineering Mathematics and Statistics
• Healthcare Technology Project

Year 3 Modules:

In year 3 you’ll explore engineering actual biomedical applications, as well as studying project management.

• Biomaterials with Implant Design and Technology
• Individual Research Project
• Medical Ethics and Quality Management
• Project Management and Six Sigma
• Rehabilitation and Prosthetics

Year 4 Modules:

These are the ‘capstone’ modules, representing a Master’s level education.

• Clinical Biomechanics
• Clinical Diagnostics
• Genomic Coding & Genetic Engineering
• Regenerative Medicine
• Team Project

Health authorities are among the largest employers in Europe and the UK, so Biomedical Engineering graduates have excellent career prospects. Better still, your mix of engineering and health-related biology qualifications will give you access to a much wider range of roles than most other engineering graduates. You might found a career designing or building artificial organs, orthopaedic devices, prosthetics, or diagnostic and monitoring equipment. Your future is what you make of it.
