About this course

The programme begins with a one-year foundation which is designed to help you develop the study skills and academic knowledge needed for an engineering degree at Bachelors or Integrated Masters level.

This interdisciplinary program starts with a broad engineering foundation and integrates health sciences. Advanced biomedical and healthcare engineering topics include:

  • Biomedical instrumentation

  • Biomaterials

  • Biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering

  • Biosignal analysis techniques

    Your learning blends theory, experimentation, and computation, fostering critical thinking and curiosity through teamwork and independent study. Design projects and presentations emphasize group learning and communication, showcasing your expertise to future employers.

    Benefit from industry and NHS involvement, with projects set by external professionals and guest lectures from practicing biomedical engineers. Study in top-notch test facilities, including our flagship Biomedical Engineering Research Centre.

    Design and create healthcare technologies, conduct physiological measurements, and analyze biosignals.

    Opt for an optional placement year to enhance employability, with recent placements at esteemed institutions like Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children and St Bartholomew's Hospital.

    Fast-track to Chartered Engineer status with a degree meeting all academic requirements for professional registration. This includes a foundation year to solidify fundamental knowledge.

    This course with foundation included is designed specifically to help people with the passion and potential to study with us. For example, mature students who need to update their technical knowledge and get used to studying again after being in work.

    By the end of the first foundation year and on successful completion, you’ll have the confidence and knowledge to progress to a BEng or MEng degree.

    Accreditation We have every expectation that these degrees will receive full accreditation from the Institute of Physics Engineering in Medicine (IPEM), the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Institute of Measurement and Control (InstMC).
