Molecular Bioengineering

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.

You will follow a pathway of core modules in years one and two, before studying specialised molecular bioengineering modules.

You will need to pass each year in order to progress to the next, which is done by achieving at least 40% in each module, and as an average across the year.

In order to complete your degree you will need to achieve 50% in your final year, both overall as an average and in each module.

• Mathematics 1
• Thermodynamics & Kinetics
• Molecules Cells and Processes 1
• Biomolecular Engineering 1
• Medical Science 1
• Programming Logic and Digital System
• Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Engineering mini-modules

• Mathematics 2
• Molecules Cells and Processes 2
• Analytical Sciences
• Medical Science 2
• Signals and Systems
• Biomolecular Engineering 2
• Control Systems
• Molecular Bioengineering Design Project

You will take the core modules and select four of the optional modules below.

• Modelling in Biology
• Physiological imaging and monitoring
• Biomaterials
• Mini i-Gem project
• Mini device/sensor project
• Synthetic Biology

• Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine
• Image processing
• Biomimetics
• Introduction to Bioinformatics
• Business for Professional Engineers and Scientists
• Imperial Horizons
• Inter-Departmental Exchange

In the fourth year you will choose four modules from the list below, in addition to completing a Biomolecular Engineering Research Project.

You will have the opportunity to design a project, undertake research and write a thesis.

The completed thesis will be the result of over 800 hours of individual study over six months, and make up over half of the assessed work in the fourth year.
