Course in depth

What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.

What you'll study

A BEng (Hons) Biomedical Engineering degree starts with engineering foundations: mathematics, mechanics and materials, and design skills including CAD. Year 2 builds discipline-specific knowledge, typically thermodynamics, fluids, circuits and systems, alongside engineering analysis, computing and a team-based group design project. In Year 3, you'll pursue specialist options such as Mechanical, Electrical & electronic, Civil & structural, Robotics & mechatronics, Energy & sustainability, or a Chartered (CEng) pathway, whilst studying professional engineering practice covering safety, ethics, sustainability and project management. The course culminates in a substantial individual design or research project. Throughout, you'll move from foundational theory to applied problem-solving and real-world engineering contexts.

Who it's for

This course suits professionals seeking to advance their expertise in biomedical engineering whilst maintaining work commitments, given its part-time delivery. It is designed for those with relevant scientific or engineering foundations who wish to develop specialist knowledge in how engineering principles apply to medical and biological systems. The part-time format allows you to balance study with employment or other responsibilities, making it accessible to mature students and career-changers in the engineering and healthcare fields.

Careers & job market

Across Engineering courses nationally, 90% of graduates are in work or further study within 15 months of completing their degree, with 80% of working graduates in highly skilled roles or pursuing further study. National graduate earnings data shows starting salaries of £29,000–£35,000 at 15 months post-graduation, rising to £26,775–£37,800 after three years and £33,150–£46,800 after five years. These figures reflect national outcomes for Engineering graduates rather than university-specific guarantees. Your part-time study allows you to build experience and professional networks whilst qualifying, potentially strengthening your position in the labour market.

  • Routine information gathering
  • First-draft writing and summaries
  • Standard analysis and admin
  • Repetitive processing tasks

More human than ever

  • Judgement and original thinking
  • Working with and leading people
  • Owning and sense-checking AI output
  • Ethics and accountability

The strongest graduates pair subject depth with the ability to use AI tools critically.

International students

What applying to LMU from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.

Tuition fees

International tuition is set per course by LMU; international fees are typically £12,000–£30,000/year for classroom subjects and higher for lab/clinical ones. You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.

English language

Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.

Student visa

You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.

Scholarships & funding

Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check LMU’s funding pages.

Living costs

Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.

Working while you study

A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.

Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with LMU and gov.uk before you apply.

Common questions

Set by LMU. Check the university's course page for the exact offer.
See the career and earnings data for Engineering below (national Graduate Outcomes / LEO figures).
For comparison, the standard full-time England tuition cap is up to £9,790 per year in 2026/27; the actual fee varies by course and provider. If you normally live in England, eligible students can apply for a Tuition Fee Loan, plus a Maintenance Loan for living costs. Under Plan 5 you repay 9% of income above £25,000, nothing below that, and the balance is written off after 40 years. See Fees & funding on this page to work out your numbers.
