Physics for Biomedical Engineering (MPHY0007)

This is a largely traditional physics course taught principally through lectures. The primary topics covered are waves, thermodynamics, solid state and quantum physics. There will be additional reading material for students, some to read before lectures and some to read afterwards. The module aims to equip biomedical engineers with the physics background necessary for them to prosper in the field. The module will familiarize biomedical engineers with concepts in contemporary physics so that they can draw on those general scientific principles with confidence. On completion of this module you will: Be able to explain basic concepts in physics to another undergraduate, to be able to perform basic calculations in physics, understand the range of physical principles and appreciate how they underpin biomedical engineering and apply your knowledge of physics to biomedical engineering applications.

Principles of Pathological Science (MEDC0007)

Principles of Pathological Sciences will give you a detailed introduction to the screening and diagnostic procedures used in the healthcare setting for a number of common diseases or disorders, including obesity-related diseases, cancer, various infections and trauma. After taking the module, you should come away with a detailed understanding of the molecular nature of key diagnostic tests, and how they are interpreted and used to inform clinical practice. You will also gain a basic understanding of the processes and procedures underlying two specific consequences of some deaths in the UK: organ donation and the Coroner's Court.

The teaching in this module is a blend of flipped online learning, small-group tutorials and master-classes from experts. You will have two session in the Royal Free Pathology Museum examining specimens, undergo two lab practicals, one on histology and the other on blood groups, and take a field trip to see an live inquest in a London Coroner's Court. You will also gain critical thinking skills and experience in the art of differential diagnosis, and be able to practice your debating and presentation skills.
