Biomedical Engineering

Engineering meets medicine—without the lab coat. The Biomedical Engineering course brings technical knowledge into biological settings, where circuits monitor heartbeats and biomaterials behave better than you'd expect. Learners will explore how engineering supports diagnostics, imaging, sensors, and device development in the healthcare space.

With modules covering human anatomy, epidemiology, and COSHH awareness, this course gives a multi-angle view of the biomedical landscape. If you've ever wondered what goes into the machines behind the medicine, here’s your entry point—one module at a time.
