Course programme
Your first two years are designed to ensure that you achieve sound knowledge in mathematics, physics and engineering. Practical skills in the first two years are gained through workshops and projects.
Your third year builds upon the first two years of compulsory courses in science and engineering subjects. You will follow a pathway to specialisation in medical engineering through design, optics, instrumentation, business framework and medical sciences to develop approaches to problem solving.
In your final year, you will develop a coherent, systematic, detailed knowledge of the disciplines in biomedical engineering as professional skills. Research skills and ethics will be introduced. Knowledge and understanding is acquired throughout the study and will translate into biomedical engineering themed individual projects.
