Gilmorehill Campus

Content

Year 1: In your first year, you will take a wide-ranging curriculum which includes courses in biomedical engineering, mathematics, dynamics, electronics, materials, statics, thermodynamics and engineering skills. These courses are supported by project and laboratory work. This interdisciplinary approach, favoured by industry, makes it possible to switch to most other engineering disciplines at the end of year 1 should you wish to do so.

Years 2 and 3: In year 2 you will study further engineering and biomedical subjects including engineering mathematics, mechanics, biomaterials, biomedical engineering skills, electronic engineering, engineering design and engineering in biological systems from the cell to the whole body.

Year 3 consists of more advanced engineering and biomedical subjects including biological fluid mechanics, biomechanics, modelling, instrumentation & control, statistics, medical imaging and human biological sciences.

Year 4: In year 4 of the BEng programme you will complete a project which takes up one third of the year. Year 4 MEng students undertake a multidisciplinary design project. All year 4 students continue to take courses in engineering, biomedical & life sciences and medicine, as well as a range of options including cell and tissue engineering, ultrasound technology, control, materials and mechanics.
