Level
This four-year BEng (Hons) Biomedical Engineering program includes an integrated foundation year designed to prepare you for higher education in engineering. The foundation year focuses on essential science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects, along with developing crucial transferable skills like communication, teamwork, and creativity. This ensures a smooth transition into UK university learning methodologies and prepares you for the demands of the Biomedical Engineering curriculum. The first two years of the program are shared with other engineering disciplines (Chemical, Civil & Structural, and Mechanical Engineering). This interdisciplinary approach provides a broad understanding of various engineering fields and their relevance to your chosen specialization. In the final two years, you will delve into the specific technical aspects of Biomedical Engineering. The program incorporates the Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate (CDIO) framework, emphasizing the development of innovative and sustainable solutions to real-world challenges, often in collaboration with industry partners.
