Course Summary

Gain the skills to create sensors, apps and digital systems for a range of applications when you combine our highly regarded electronics training with the study of biomedicine. On this four-year Biomedical Engineering (Electronics) degree you’ll learn about the latest advances in biomedical electronics from leading experts in their fields, including staff currently developing innovative healthcare technologies within the Biomedical Electronics Research Group. At Southampton our Electronic Engineering graduates have a world-leading reputation for creative solutions based on cutting-edge knowledge and state-of-the-art technical skills. Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Southampton is ranked first in the UK (Guardian University Guide 2021). We have an unrivalled reputation for our facilities, and have recently invested £8m in our teaching labs. We also have a £100m state-of-the-art interdisciplinary clean room complex and high-voltage laboratory. You’ll be prepared by renowned teaching staff to work in a wide variety of areas and fields; we have strong relationships with employers, and our graduates are in demand for their understanding of organisations and their practical abilities in the workplace. You’ll benefit from our own Careers Hub who run an annual careers fair and our dedicated startup incubator, Future Worlds, supporting student enterprise.

Course Details - Modules

You’ll be helped to make the transition to study at university-level on your Biomedical Engineering (Electronics) degree. As well as learning about the main aspects of electronic engineering you’ll be taking life sciences modules covering cell biology, the fundamentals of neuroscience and the workings of the body’s essential systems. Specialist modules bring the two fields together. For example, you’ll learn how signal processing is used in heart rate monitoring, and how the principles of microfluidics apply to lab-on-a-chip systems. You’ll also learn essential mathematics and programming skills. To help progress your career you’ll develop professional, teamwork and leadership skills in your studies. For example, there’s a module covering key engineering management topics such as law, budgeting, project management and entrepreneurship.

Course Details – Assessment Method

A range of assessment methods are used on this programme to enable students to demonstrate their achievement of the intended learning outcomes. These include written examinations and assessments, in-class tests, design exercises, programming exercises, oral presentations, assessed laboratories and group work exercises.
