Trinity College London Integrated Skills in English: ISEII at Distinction with Distinction in all sub-tests
* Please note that TOEFL is still acceptable for admission to this programme for both home/EU and international students.
For international students, the Home Office has confirmed that the University can choose to use TOEFL to make its own assessment of English language ability for visa applications to degree level courses. We therefore still accept TOEFL tests taken in the last two years for admission to this programme.
Biomedical engineering is about finding engineering solutions to medical problems. As a rapidly expanding industry, biomedical engineering meets the demands of healthcare through the development of technology.

Year 1
BIOMOLECULAR PROCESSES IN BIOENGINEERING 1
ANALOGUE ELECTRONICS 1
ENGINEERING SKILLS 1
INTRODUCTION TO BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING 1
MATERIALS 1
DYNAMICS 1
ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS 1
STATICS 1
THERMODYNAMICS 1
In your first year, you will take a wide-ranging curriculum which includes courses in biomedical engineering, mathematics, dynamics, electronics, materials, statics, thermodynamics and engineering skills. These courses are supported by project and laboratory work. This interdisciplinary approach, favoured by industry, makes it possible to switch to most other engineering disciplines at the end of year 1 should you wish to do so.
Year 2
Core courses:
ENGINEERING IN BIOLOGY 2
MECHANICAL DESIGN 2
ANALOGUE ELECTRONICS 2
BIOMATERIALS 2
BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING SKILLS 2
DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE 2
MECHANICS OF STRUCTURES 2A
DYNAMICS 2
FLUID MECHANICS 2
ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS 2
In year 2, you will study further engineering and biomedical subjects including engineering mathematics, mechanics, biomaterials, biomedical engineering skills, electronic engineering, engineering design and engineering in biological systems from the cell to the whole body.
Year 3
HUMAN BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES 2
SOFTWARE ENGINEERING M3
BIOLOGICAL FLUID MECHANICS 3
CONTROL 3
INSTRUMENTATION AND DATA SYSTEMS 3
SIMULATION OF ENGINEERING SYSTEMS 3
MICROSCOPY AND OPTICS 3
BIOMECHANICS 3
MEDICAL IMAGING
STATISTICS FOR BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING 3
In year 3 you will study more advanced engineering and biomedical subjects including biological fluid mechanics, biomechanics, modelling, instrumentation and control, statistics, medical imaging and human biological sciences.
Year 4 and 5
Core courses:
BIOSENSORS AND DIAGNOSTICS 4
INDIVIDUAL PROJECT 4
REHABILITATION ENGINEERING 4
BIOETHICS FOR BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING 4
SIGNAL PROCESSING OF BIOSIGNATURES 4
ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
In year 4 of the BEng programme you will complete a project which takes up one third of the year. Year 4 MEng students undertake a multidisciplinary design project. All year 4 students continue to take courses in engineering, biomedical and life sciences and medicine, as well as a range of options including cell and tissue engineering, ultrasound technology, control, materials and mechanics.
As an MEng student, in your fifth year you will work on a detailed research-based project in industry, at a hospital or at another university. Thereafter, you will choose courses in subjects such as energy in biological systems, advanced imaging and therapy, scaffolds and tissues, computational modelling, dynamics, and materials.
Pre-Sessional English Course
This depends on your starting level. For students aiming for the standard requirement of IELTS 6.5 and starting a degree programme in September we recommend
Foundation Certificate for Science and Engineering
For entry to the 2nd year of an undergraduate degree at the University of Glasgow. Your course length is determined mainly by your English language level (UKVI IELTS score or accepted equivalent).
All students take a set of common or similar modules to gain key skills for university. If your course is longer than 2 terms, you’ll take extra modules focusing on one or more of English language, academic skills and basic subject knowledge.
Our graduates are well represented in manufacturing companies and the National Health Service and in a wide range of industries in this country and abroad. Biomedical Engineering can be an excellent preliminary degree for graduate entry into Medicine. The degree also provides graduates with strong transferable skills.
ACCREDITATION
Our BEng and MEng degrees are accredited by the Institute of Engineering and Technology, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine.
