COURSE CURRICULUM

The Biomedical Engineering degree at Canterbury Christ Church University is structured across three years, providing a strong foundation in engineering principles while focusing on biomedical applications. In Year 1, students are introduced to essential engineering concepts through modules such as Computer Aided Engineering and Professional Engineering Skills. Applied Mathematics and Programming develops the analytical and coding abilities required for technical problem-solving. Material Science and Testing explores the properties and performance of materials used in biomedical devices, while Integrated Electro-mechanical Systems and Practices provides a hands-on introduction to systems that blend mechanical and electronic components, forming the groundwork for more specialized study.Year 2 delves deeper into biomedical-specific content while expanding core engineering knowledge. Statics and Dynamics teaches students how to analyze mechanical forces in static and moving systems. Human Healthcare Technology and Human Anatomy, Physiology and Biomechanics integrate engineering with life sciences, preparing students to understand and design systems that support or enhance the human body. The Sustainable Engineering Lifecycle module introduces environmentally responsible engineering practices. Signal and Image Processing develops the ability to analyze biological data and medical imagery. Control and Instrumentation covers system automation, feedback, and measurement techniques essential to biomedical devices.In the final year, students apply their learning to complex and real-world challenges. Modelling and Simulation for Engineers focuses on digital modeling and system behavior prediction, while Engineering Research Practice enhances investigative and analytical skills in preparation for the Engineering Project—a capstone assignment where students develop and deliver a biomedical solution. Medical Device Design, Regulation & Standards introduces essential knowledge of regulatory frameworks and safety standards. Finally, the Digital and Smart Healthcare System module explores the integration of modern digital technologies into healthcare environments, including smart devices and data-driven systems. This comprehensive structure prepares graduates to enter the biomedical sector with both technical proficiency and industry awareness.
