BEng Biomedical Engineering

The Biomedical Engineering BEng course offered by Canterbury Christ Church University is a rigorous academic program designed to equip students with the needed skills to face the technical challenges in the med-tech industry. This course allows students to develop a critical understanding of the scientific and engineering principles underlying the functioning of the human body, medical instruments used in hospitals and the behavior of materials used for implanted devices such as hip replacements.Course Content: The curriculum blends fundamental mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, and biology. Students will study anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and biotransport processes, and will learn how modern techniques in engineering and design can be applied to healthcare solutions. Key Modules: The core modules include Biology for Engineers, Calculus and Linear Algebra, Professional Studies and Introduction to Biomedical Engineering. Other major modules are Mechanics of Materials & Structures, Thermo-fluids Engineering, Advanced Calculus, Computational & Experimental Methods, Biomechanics & Biomaterials, and Medical Electronics and Imaging.Accreditations: The Biomedical Engineering BEng course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.Future Careers: Graduates can pursue careers in the medical technology industry, hospitals in the technical departments, biomedical engineering research institutes, and regulatory bodies.
