BEng Biomedical Engineering

The foundation year of this four-year course will introduce you to the key concepts and knowledge you need to progress to the BSc in Applied Medical Sciences. After completing the Foundation Year with at least a 60% overall average, students will move on to Year 1 of the BSc. Students may also progress onto Year 1 of the Medical Pharmacology BSc program (B210) or Population Health and Medical Sciences BSc program (B211). You will cover the fundamentals of biological chemistry, metabolism and homeostasis, microbiology and disease, molecular biology, data handling and analysis, and laboratory skills. Progressing to the complete BSc program, you will gain a thorough grounding in the science underpinning modern medicine, studying a wide range of topics, including human anatomy and physiology, cell biology, genetics, pharmacology, and neuroscience, together with their clinical and applied relevance.
