MEng Biomedical Engineering
About this course
MEng (Hons) in Biomedical Engineering, a biomedical engineering degree centred on applying engineering principles and practices to biological and healthcare challenges. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Computer Architecture, Data Analysis, Mathematical Modelling, Research Methods, Project Management, Engineering Design, Entrepreneurship, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. Students complete a research project supervised by academic staff in the third year and access experimental laboratories to support their studies. The first year covers core science and design through Design and Make Project 1, Chemical Engineering Science, Mathematical Methods in Bioengineering, and Anatomy and Physiology. The second year progresses with Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Design and Make Project 2, Bioengineering Thermofluids, and Data Analysis and Modelling. The third year includes the Bioengineering Individual Project, Biomedical Component Design, Additive for Healthcare and Innovation, and Project Management, alongside optional modules such as Biochemical Engineering and Machine Learning and AI for Engineering. The fourth year features the Group Design Project, with further optional study available in areas such as Fluid Mixing and Process Intensification, Biomedical Analytical Technologies, and Technological Entrepreneurship.
