Bachelor in Biomedical Engineering Including Foundation Year Beng Hons

Tuition costs 17,500 GBP per year.

Bridging the gap between engineering innovation and human physiology, biomedical engineering addresses the critical challenge of designing technologies that improve health outcomes and patient care. This BEng (Hons) programme, which includes an integrated foundation year, is specifically designed for students who need to build or refresh their core academic confidence before advancing to complex engineering principles. It provides a structured pathway into the field, ensuring that by the time you reach the main degree years, you possess a robust grasp of the mathematical, electronic, and physiological foundations required to succeed.

Practical Engineering for Healthcare

The curriculum emphasizes the practical application of technology, covering diverse areas such as medical imaging, robotics, physiological monitoring, and biomechanics. Through a mix of laboratory work and theoretical study, you will explore how modern electronic systems and data analysis tools can be harnessed to solve real-world clinical problems. The course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council, marking a significant step toward professional status as a Chartered Engineer. By integrating hands-on experience in simulation and modelling software with a strong focus on employability, the programme prepares graduates to transition effectively into entry-level roles in diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, or healthcare research, while also equipping those who wish to pursue advanced academic research at the postgraduate level.
