2-Semester Pathway - Pre-Master's Programme - Continue to Master of Science - Biomedical Engineering

The Level 6 Pre-Master’s Programme (PMP) is a two-semester programme, with guaranteed progression to a wide range of Master’s degrees at Loughborough University.

This Pre-Master’s Programme (PMP) is designed to prepare international students for postgraduate study in the United Kingdom. The PMP will allow them to improve their English while learning the study skills and research methods that they will need during their Master's degree studies. They will study academic modules relating to their chosen progression route. Each semester consists of thirteen teaching weeks, one reading week, and an assessment week. The weekly hours of study varies by semester with them on average studying around 18-21 (and up to 21) hours per week. Each module will have an assessment schedule, which will be completed by the end of the appropriate semester. Assessments will be designed to demonstrate learning across the individual modules of the programme and to allow them to experience a wide range of the assessment methods used in United Kingdom postgraduate programmes. Assessments will include coursework, essays, reports and other structured assignments, oral examination and unseen written examinations.

The Master of Science - Biomedical Engineering field is rapidly developing and crosses a range of industries helping people achieve a better quality of life. Biomedical engineers have contributed to innovations in medicine and healthcare products and technologies, such as diagnostics, drug delivery systems, biomedical imaging and artificial organs. This course focuses on the application of engineering to biology and medicine to enhance and improve healthcare. This programme is designed to develop students' knowledge and understanding of the most up-to-date developments in biomedical engineering, preparing them for a career in industry or continued academic studies.
