About this course

This stream within the Department of Bioengineering combines the study of biomedical engineering with the opportunity to study abroad in your final year. You will cover a broad foundation in physics, mathematics, engineering and medical science, then progress to more advanced engineering studies that apply the quantitative aspects of engineering analysis and design to a broad range of biomedical problems. To apply for this degree, you should initially apply for the...

Course programme

Modules shown are for the current academic year, and are subject to change depending on your year of entry.

Please note that not all combinations of optional modules may be possible due to timetabling constraints.

Our four-year Biomedical Engineering course provides you with the essential fundamentals of the discipline in the first two years.

You will take a combination of core and optional modules in the third year, as well as completing a group project.

The fourth year is spent at a university abroad, completing a similar programme of study to those on offer at Imperial, which forms part of your final degree grade.

Year 1

In the first year you will take all of the following core modules:

  • Bioengineering in Action

  • Electronic Build Project
  • Heat and Mass Transport 1
  • Logic and Digital Systems
  • Mathematics 1
  • Mechanics 1
  • Medical Science 1
  • Molecules, Cells and Processes
  • Programming 1
  • Vibrations and Waves
  • Wet Lab Skills
Year 2

In the second year you will follow the below pathway of core modules.

  • Biomolecular Engineering 2
  • Control Systems
  • Electrical Engineering 2

  • Mathematics 2
  • Mechanics 2 Fluids
  • Mechanics 2 Solids
  • Mechanics Workshop
  • Medical Science 2
  • Programming 2
  • Signals and Systems
  • Wet Lab Skills

You will also take part in a practical engineering design project, based on the Sports Innovation Challenge.

Year 3

Your third year will comprise of core and optional modules, as well as the opportunity to complete a group project.
