Biomedical Engineering

About this programme

Our Biomedical Engineering MEng course has been designed to train the next generation of biomedical engineers working in healthcare research and development. Upon completion, you will go on to specialise in medical engineering, medical physics or apply for further study in Medicine. The practice of medicine is being transformed by the increasing role of engineering, physics, mathematics and computer science. Our four-year course will position you at the forefront of these developments. Our Biomedical Engineering MEng degree will provide you with a foundation in mathematics, engineering and science, along with a biomedical engineering curriculum. What is unique about our course is that it will offer you the ability to widen your knowledge and experience in biomedical engineering by studying for one more year following the three-year BEng course. Our course is primarily taught at the Waterloo Campus. Some teaching takes place at the King’s College London St Thomas’ and Guy’s Campuses. The School of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences is based in a clinical setting at St Thomas’ Hospital. Centrally located and well connected, Waterloo brings together students from health, science and law, just steps from the South Bank. It's also home to the world's #2 nursing school – the Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery (QS 2026). Sitting on the Thames with views of Parliament, St Thomas' Campus is an inspiring base for healthcare and clinical training. You'll gain hands-on experience in a world-leading hospital, right in the heart of the capital.
