Key Summary
Introduction
Business and research environments need engineers who can design complete solutions involving complex integrated systems. Biomedical Engineering at Kent educates engineers who can develop systems used in medical practice and biology research.
This cross-disciplinary programme is designed for students with an equally strong interest in engineering and biology/medicine. Drawing from our established expertise in engineering technologies and from the research synergies with the School of Biosciences, this degree produces engineers with a solid knowledge of biology and medical science.

Teaching and assessment
Teaching/learning
Lectures; tutorial lectures; demonstrator-led examples classes; tutor-led small group supervisions; project work; laboratory experiments and computer-based assignments. Case studies on industry hot topics and emerging technologies. In particular, the first, second and third-year projects give hands-on experience in electronic design and project management.
Problem-solving workshops allow you to develop skills in applying biomedical knowledge to the solution of problems. Practical classes teach specific laboratory skills and demonstrate how they can be used to investigate biomedical systems.
Assessment
Written unseen examinations; assessed coursework in the form of examples, class assignments, laboratory write-ups, assessed project work, assignments and essays and class tests.
Contact hours
For a student studying full-time, each academic year of the program will comprise 1200 learning hours which include both direct contact hours and private study hours. The precise breakdown of hours will be subject-dependent and will vary according to modules.
Methods of assessment will vary according to subject specialism and individual modules.
