Overview

Key Facts and Outcomes

At University College London (UCL), we offer the option of studying a three-year Biomedical Engineering BEng or a more in-depth four-year Biomedical Engineering MEng programme.

The first two years of study for both programmes are identical and transfer between the two is possible up to the end of the second year. We advise applying for the MEng initially which makes it easier to defer your decision.

In your first year, you will receive an introduction to biomedical engineering, including electronics and mechanics, with mathematical modelling and analysis, which are needed to design and develop complex medical technologies.

In year two, you will build upon the skills and knowledge you have already gained and take modules in areas of biomedical engineering such as anatomy and physiology, physics and biomechanics. You will also select an optional IEP minor from a range offered across UCL Engineering and beyond, including programming, entrepreneurship or a foreign language.

In your third year you will study two further modules from biomedical engineering and from your optional IEP minor stream, and undertake a major project linked to research strengths across UCL Engineering and UCL's substantial healthcare partners.
