PROGRAMME STRUCTURE
You will study the same courses in the first three whether on the BEng or degree programme

YEAR 1
You will take courses in biomedical engineering mathematics dynamics electronics materials statics thermodynamics and engineering skills This interdisciplinary approach favoured by industry also makes it easy to switch to most other engineering disciplines at the end of 1 should you wish to do so

YEAR 2
You will study further engineering and biomedical subjects including engineering mathematics mechanics biomaterials biomedical engineering skills electronic engineering engineering design and engineering in biological systems from the cell to the whole body

YEAR 3
You will study more advanced engineering and biomedical subjects including biological fluid mechanics biomechanics modelling instrumentation and control statistics medical imaging and human biological sciences

YEARS 4 AND 5
In 4 of the BEng programme you will complete a project Year 4 students undertake a multidisciplinary design project All 4 students continue to take courses in engineering biomedical and life sciences and medicine as well as a range of options students in fifth will work on a detailed research-based project in industry at a hospital or at another university
