MEng Biomedical Engineering

4 Years On Campus Accelerated-bachelors Program

Imperial College London

Program Overview

As a biomedical engineer, you’ll be at the forefront of technology, using it to help people lead longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. This course blends essential engineering principles with a deep dive into the human body, giving you the chance to apply your knowledge to projects that could truly change lives.

It’s perfect for those who have a curiosity for a variety of topics—from mechanics and nanotechnology to physiology, programming, and design.
You’ll get to roll up your sleeves and engage in hands-on activities across these fields, all while learning in state-of-the-art facilities within a collaborative environment.
With the flexibility to focus on biomedical, electrical, mechanical, or computational bioengineering, you can shape your educational journey to match your interests.

The diverse skills you’ll gain will set you up for a range of careers—whether that’s in medical physics, starting your own business, or even pursuing graduate studies in medicine.

Your learning experience will include:

  • Laboratory sessions
  • Lectures and guest speakers
  • Hands-on make, build, and test activities
  • Tutorials and study groups
  • A virtual learning environment

When it comes to assessments, you can expect:

  • Coursework
  • Examinations
  • Oral and poster presentations

Experiential Learning (Research, Projects, Internships etc.)

In your final year, you'll dive into an independent research project that really puts your knowledge and skills to the test. This capstone experience places you right in the heart of a real-world research setting, giving you the chance to tackle an unresolved issue or a new challenge in the field of bioengineering.

As you engage in this intellectually demanding journey, you'll sharpen your critical thinking, analytical, and project management abilities—all while making valuable contributions to the progress of biomedical innovation.
