The BEng. programme in Biomedical Engineering is designed to develop a high level of technical expertise together with the emotional intelligence to be able to practice successfully as a professional engineer in a modern interdisciplinary engineering environment. New graduate engineers are increasingly expected to take on important technical leadership and management responsibilities early in their careers and the knowledge and skills gained from this programme are designed to produce graduates who are able to make an immediate contribution to their employers' organisations. The programme aims to: Provide a programme of study that develops core knowledge and understanding of engineering principles, mathematics, and computation appropriate to the field of Biomedical Engineering. Enable students to develop specialist knowledge, intellectual and practical skills that will enable them to analyse, investigate and develop robust solutions to Biomedical Engineering problems. Develop relevant study and personal skills so that students progressively take responsibility for their learning, becoming, independent learners, while receiving appropriate tutoring and support. Equip students with a range of transferable skills and attributes in the use of computers, software packages, team working, communication, time management and problem solving methodology that will enable them to undertake responsible roles in industry and commerce. Provide a degree programme that meets the needs of industry. Develop students to work in and manage teams, and work independently at managerial level utilising project management and technical skills. To encourage students to engage with the development of employability skills by completing a self-awareness statement.
