BEng Biomedical Engineering

University of East London

Course overview

The University of East London BEng Biomedical Engineering programme teaches how engineering and biomedical science combine to deliver the next generation of medical technology. Students explore the design and development of artificial medical implants (such as hip-joints, heart valves and prosthetic limbs) and other medical systems, including surgical robots, diagnostic tools and rehabilitation equipment. They will benefit from strong practical input through laboratory facilities, simulation and modelling software, and workshops led by experienced academic staff.

Learning is structured around core modules such as Fundamentals in Human Anatomy and Physiology, Engineering Principles, Functional Anatomy, Biomechanics, Biofluid Mechanics and CFD. They will learn and be guided by teaching staff, placement studies, guided independent study and will be assessed through a combination of examinations, essays, practical reports, presentations, project work, and computer-based assessments.
