Biomedical engineers work at the intersection of medicine and technology, collaborating with clinicians, therapists and researchers to design the systems, equipment and devices that diagnose, monitor and treat disease. Their innovations include prosthetics, artificial hearts, dialysis machines, laser and robotic surgical tools, pacemakers, and wearable health technologies.
This degree is part of UCL’s Integrated Engineering Programme (IEP), an interdisciplinary framework that equips students with a firm grounding in core engineering principles while developing the breadth, adaptability and problem-solving skills needed to address real-world healthcare challenges.
Year 1 provides a foundation in biomedical engineering, covering electronics, mechanics, computing, and the mathematical modelling and analysis essential for designing complex medical technologies.
Year 2 builds depth through modules in anatomy and physiology, tissue engineering and biomechanics. You will also choose an IEP minor from options across UCL Engineering and beyond, such as programming, entrepreneurship or a foreign language.
Year 3 includes three advanced biomedical engineering modules, two further modules from your chosen IEP minor and an additional optional module. A major individual project, often linked to UCL Engineering research or our extensive healthcare partnerships, allows you to specialise and gain hands-on experience.
We offer the option of studying the three-year BEng or a more in-depth four-year Biomedical Engineering MEng course. The first three years are shared, and transfer between the two pathways is possible up to the end of Year Three, subject to achieving an average weighted mark of 55% to continue on the MEng course.
