Course summary

Biomedical engineering is a multidisciplinary field that combines biology and engineering, applying engineering principles and materials to medicine and healthcare. From developing and improving new machinery, such as robotic surgery equipment, to creating better and more reliable replacement limbs, the work of biomedical engineers is helping to pave the way for new methods of treating injuries and diseases.

This research-informed programme aims to develop industry-ready graduates with product design and innovative sense who are highly skilled and creative biomedical engineers, able to adapt to new challenges and deliver sustainable solutions for modern society.

Modules

For the most up-to date-module information, please visit the course page for this programme on our website. Some programmes provide you with the opportunity to focus your study in a particular area through optional modules. Timetabling arrangements may limit the availability of some optional modules to some students. As the options often reflect staff research interests, they may alter over time due to staff availability.

Assessment method

Assessment on the Biomedical Engineering programme focuses on measuring and assessing engineering technical and analytical skills as well as professional soft skills including oral and written communication, team working, lifelong learning, problem-solving, project management, and planning and organisation. Students are continuously assessed throughout the course through a wide range of assessments methods including examinations, practical reports, project portfolios, individual and group presentations, individual group project work, and computer based assessment.

Contextual admissions

Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.

At Lincoln, we recognise that not everybody has had the same advice and support to help them get to higher education. Contextual offers are one of the ways we remove the barriers to higher education, ensuring fair access for all students regardless of background and personal experiences. If eligible, your offer may be lower depending on the course you applied for, your qualifications and your circumstances. For more information, including eligibility criteria, visit our Offer Guide Pages.

Additional fee information

For each course students may find that there are additional costs. These may be with regard to the specific clothing, materials or equipment required, depending on their subject area. Some courses provide opportunities for students to undertake field work or field trips. Where these are compulsory, the cost for the travel, accommodation and meals may be covered by the University and so is included in the fee. Where these are optional students will normally (unless stated otherwise) be required to pay their own transportation, accommodation and meal costs.

Some courses offer the opportunity to take part in placements. When students are on an optional placement in the UK or overseas or studying abroad, they will be required to cover their own transport and accommodation and meals costs. Placements can range from a few weeks to a full year if students choose to undertake an optional sandwich year in industry. Students are encouraged to obtain placements in industry independently. Tutors may provide support and advice to students who require it during this process.

With regards to text books, the University provides students who enrol with a comprehensive reading list and our extensive library holds either material or virtual versions of the core texts that students are required to read. However, students may prefer to purchase some of these for themselves and will therefore be responsible for this cost.
