Biomedical Engineering, MEng (Hons)

Biomedical Engineering integrates biomedicine, electronics, and digital health technologies to address future healthcare challenges. Students gain foundational knowledge in medical technologies, enabling them to design, develop, and deliver innovative products. The course begins with core training in electronics, programming, and life sciences, followed by specialization in areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Digital Health, Electronic Systems, or Mechatronics for Health.In subsequent years, students explore advanced modules in their chosen pathway, including mandatory topics like Control and Systems Engineering, Signal Processing, and Machine Learning, alongside options in biomaterials and robotics. The program culminates in individual and group projects, with access to facilities like the high-resolution 3D imaging centre. Assessment includes exams, tests, design exercises, presentations, and group work, preparing graduates for the global health technology sector.
