Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Biomedical Engineering University of East London - Docklands Campus, UK

Biomedical engineering is an inter-disciplinary and exciting subject that covers the science and engineering responsible for many of the latest advances in medicine.

Our course encompasses the design and development of artificial medical implants such as hip joints, heart valves and prosthetic limbs, as well as the development of medical technologies including surgical robots, diagnostic tools and rehabilitation equipment.

Becoming a biomedical engineer promises an exciting career, and our course are designed to provide excellent training in all these areas.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

Throughout the course you'll be encouraged to apply your skills to a range of practical problems through a mental wealth module which is designed to provide guidance to become an independent learner, effectively reflect and take necessary actions for professional success.

In your first year, you will gain a thorough and 'hands-on' grounding in the principles and practises of engineering with a healthcare focus, including Fundamentals of Human Anatomy and Physiology, Engineering Principles, Applied Mathematics & Computing, Engineering Materials, and Thermofluids.

In the second year, students begin to specialise in Biomedical Engineering, by studying Functional Anatomy and Biomechanics of Human Movement, while also studying Engineering Design and Analysis, and Applied Electronics. You'll be encouraged and supported to find work experience to enhance your practical skills, and we'll help you to find a work placement if you choose to work for a year in the industry during your course. In the final year you will expand your understanding of biomedical engineering even further by developing a solution for a real-world medical need and acquire new skills and readiness for the workplace through a biomedical engineering project. In addition, you will be taught advanced subject that enhances the variety of biomedical engineering applications, namely, Biofluid Mechanics & CFD, Applied Physiology, and Design of Mechatronics Systems.

The programme will also offer you an optional placement year, enabling you to experience the real world and effectively connect your university experience with it.

We consistently review our courses to ensure we are up to date with industry changes and requirements from our graduates. As a result, our modules are subject to change.
