BEng Biomedical Engineering
Course overview
The BEng Biomedical Engineering with Foundation at the University of East London provides a solid foundation in engineering and biomedical science by exploring how the design, development, and deployment of medical devices and systems can improve healthcare. The foundation year supports students in developing key academic, study, and professional skills across mathematics, science, and engineering sciences, before progressing into core modules covered in the degree programme. These modules include Engineering principles, Biomechanics of human movement, Engineering Materials, and Applied physiology.
Experts in biomedical engineering will teach this course through a combination of lectures and workshops. Students will also learn independently through self-study, individual and group projects, preparing coursework assignments and presentations with assessment through a combination of examinations, essays, practical reports, presentations, project work, and computer-based assessments.
