When you study on a Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering degree, you’ll learn from world-leading practitioners and gain the experience and skills needed to address real-world healthcare challenges using the practical application of engineering principles, design concepts and technology. Discover where a undergraduate degree from UCL Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering could take you!

Undergraduate Degree Programmes

Which should you choose?

Medical Physics or Biomedical Engineering?

There is little overlap between our undergraduate programmes in Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering. The focus of each programme is on the foundation subject: physics or engineering respectively. 

Our Medical Physics degrees are built on a strong foundation of physics and mathematics in the first two years, expanding into the application of physics methods and concepts to medicine and medical technologies in years 3 and 4. 

Biomedical Engineering is a growing field that applies engineering technology to medical problems. The course is built on a multi-disciplinary engineering foundation (often Mechanical and Electrical). 
 

Watch Prof Karin Shmueli, our iBSc Tutor, explain the difference between our undergraduate programmes.
