About this course

Biomedical Engineering graduates can enter various industries, such as a medical hardware and software, or take a clinical engineering position in a hospital. Graduates may also choose to progress to a masters or doctoral degree specialising in medical engineering or medical physics, or progress to a medical degree.

Please note that A-level General Studies, Critical Thinking, Thinking Skills and Global Perspectives are not accepted by King's as one of your A-levels. However, if offered the grade achieved may be taken into account when considering whether or not to accept a candidate who has just fallen short of the conditions of their offer.
