Course in depth

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

What you'll study

A Biomedical Engineering BEng (Hons) degree prepares you for career entry in the UK biomedical and healthcare technology sector. A course like this typically progresses from engineering foundations in Year 1, mathematics, mechanics and materials, and practical design skills including CAD, before moving to core discipline topics in Year 2, such as thermodynamics, circuits and systems, alongside engineering analysis and a group design project. Year 3 focuses on specialisation and professional practice. You'll usually choose from specialisations such as mechanical, electrical and electronic, civil and structural, robotics and mechatronics, energy and sustainability, or the Chartered (CEng) pathway. The final year culminates in a substantial individual design or research project. Throughout, you'll develop problem-solving, technical and team-working skills grounded in real engineering applications.

Who it's for

This course suits students with A-level qualifications or equivalent; most accepted entrants held these credentials. The typical UCAS tariff band among recent accepted students was less than 48 points. The university offers bursaries and scholarships. Check their funding pages for details.

Careers & job market

Across Engineering courses nationally, 90% of graduates are in work or further study within 15 months of completing their degree. Among those working, 80% are in highly skilled roles or pursuing further study.

How AI is changing the work

AI doesn't replace the profession, it shifts it: routine tasks get automated, while judgement, working with people and using AI well become more valuable.

What AI takes off your plate

  • 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.
