The UCD BE degree in Biomedical Engineering enables students to apply fundamental engineering skills to address problems in medicine and health. The degree prepares students for a career as a professional engineer in areas such as medical devices and technologies, engineering consultancy, biomedical manufacturing, and research and development within Ireland and globally. Students build a strong foundation in both Electronic and Mechanical Engineering principles, with a choice to specialize in either discipline for more advanced modules.  They are also introduced to the fundamentals of physiology and anatomy before combining the knowledge and skills gained in specialised interdisciplinary biomedical engineering modules. Students learn through a combination of lectures, laboratories, group discussion and research and applied clinical projects, delivered by internationally recognised faculty with active research programmes in Biomedical Engineering.  Student assessment comprises a mix of examination, continuous assessment incorporating homework and practical laboratory work, and a major project in the final year of the degree.

Engineering Science Stage 4 Biomedical Engineering Stream is a 60 credit undergraduate year of study with 30 credits per Trimester comprising CORE and/or OPTION modules including a Professional Work Experience module. Following successful completion of Stage 4, students will progress into Stage 2 (Year 2) of their Master of Engineering (ME) Programme, and modules from Stage 4 will be mapped forward in place of Stage 1 (Year 1) of the ME.

Students must consult with and obtain prior approval of the Programme Director before registering to their modules.
